Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Aston Martin SPL-30-1632 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 SPL-30-1632 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 SPL-30-1632 cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 13 model years: 2021 Aston Martin DB11, 2020 Aston Martin DB11, 2019 Aston Martin DB11, 2018 Aston Martin DB11, 2017 Aston Martin DB11, 2020 Aston Martin DBS and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
