Aston Martin Vanquish, Model year 2013

Aston Martin has decided that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists on a range of vehicles that were manufactured from March 2007 until November 2015. In the affected models, it is possible in some circumstances that when the right front seat is operated to its fully rearward position that the seat runner can compress the battery supply cable. If the seat runner repeatedly compresses the cable, damage to the insulation of the cable can occur. When this happens, it is possible that the seat runner can conduct electricity from the battery supply cable. This can make a short circuit which can damage the wiring harness and cause smoke to appear in the passenger compartment.
