Aston Martin bulletin SB-30-1282
Aston Martin filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Sep 16, 2019, received Oct 15, 2019, about the equipment — 3 documents under this number. It names 7 model years (2016–2019). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Aston Martin SB-30-1282 a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the SB-30-1282 repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does SB-30-1282 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 7 model years: 2016 Aston Martin DB9, 2019 Aston Martin DBS, 2019 Aston Martin Vantage, 2017 Aston Martin Vantage, 2016 Aston Martin Vantage, 2017 Aston Martin DB9 GT and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
