Supercar maker Aston Martin Lagonda Ltd. is launching two recalls in the U.S. to fix transmission and battery cable problems covering roughly 5,400 vehicles—about one-third more cars than it sold worldwide last year.
The larger campaign involves 3,500 of the company’s 2009-2016 model DB9, DBS, Rapide, Vanquish and Virage coupes. Their automatic gearboxes may not fully engage in Park, thereby allowing the car to roll away unexpectedly.
About 2,000 DB9 and DBS cars produced in 2005-2009 also are being recalled to reroute a battery cable that could be short-circuited by movement of the passenger seat and cause a fire. The campaign expands on a recall launched in April 2016 for the same problem.
Both callbacks are expected to begin on Feb. 1, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
