NEW YORK: Best known as the maker of James Bond’s favourite car, Aston Martin is recalling more than 5,000 vehicles in the US because of a pair of problems.
The Gaydon, England-based company, whose vehicles sell for more than US$200,000, is recalling 3,493 DB9, DBS, Rapide, Virage and Vanquish vehicles made between 2009 and 2016 because of problems with the power train that “can cause the transmission park pawl not to engage,” according to documents posted on the website of the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
