Aston Martin affected vehicles are equipped with interior door unlocking mechanisms that may not function when the vehicle has been locked from the outside.
The short version
Aston Martin Lagonda of North America reported a problem with the latches/locks/linkages. Here is what owners need to know.
The affected vehicles are equipped with interior door unlocking mechanisms that may not function when the vehicle has been locked from the outside. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, "Door Locks and Door Retention Components."
If the doors cannot be opened by an occupant from inside the vehicle, they may be trapped inside, increasing their risk of injury.
Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will disable the double locking feature by reprogramming the software, free of charge.
