Aston Martin will recall 75 percent of all cars made since 2007, affects 17,590 units

Aston Martin has recently made a big announcement of a major recall which will affect about 75 percent of all cars manufactured since 2007.

This huge recall will affects at least 17,590 cars made by Aston Martin and involves all left-hand drive cars manufactured since November 2007 and all right-hand drive models produced since May 2012 which according to a company spokesman represent About 75 percent of all cars built since 2007. Out of a total of 17,590 cars, 5,001 units are from North America only while the other 12,589 units were sold worldwide and none of the recalled cars is a Vanquish model.

This reason behind the massive recall is a Chinese sub-supplier who was using counterfeit plastic material for a component which they supplied to Aston Martin. Company spokeswoman Sarah Calam stated that 22 failed parts have been reported so far by the customers but luckily no accidents or injuries were related to this problem.

As a result of this recall, Aston Martin is now being supplied directly by a DuPont distributor. Well we have to say it is a tough recall and nothing less than challenging to do such a task.
