What was reported

Source: manufacturer filing, 49 CFR Part 573
Problem Aston Martin The Americas (Aston Martin) is recalling certain 2026 DBX S, 2023-2026 DBX707, and 2021-2024 DBX vehicles. The pin for the torque reaction link may slide out of the rear lower suspension arm, causing the rear lower suspension arm casting to crack or shear. Risk Failure of the rear lower suspension arm can cause a loss of vehicle control, damage the brake line or other suspension components, and increase the risk of a crash. Fix Aston Martin will inspect the lower rear suspension arms for cracks, and as necessary, replace the lower rear arms, and replace the bolts for the torque reaction links, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed May 28, 2026. Owners may contact Aston Martin customer service at 1-888-923-9988. Aston Martin's number for this recall is RA-41-2086. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on April 2, 2026.

Reported to NHTSA Mar 29, 2026 by Aston Martin The Americas, owners notified May 28, 2026.

What that means, in plain English

Source: WhichTrim's reading of the filing above — not NHTSA's wording

A cracking or shearing rear lower suspension arm causes loss of vehicle control and can damage brake lines, directly enabling a crash, but no stop-drive order or fire/explosion is described.

Written for us by a language model from the manufacturer's filed text, which is quoted in full above. Where the two differ, the filing is the record and this is only our summary of it.

Which vehicles are covered

Source: NHTSA campaign 26V200000

Vehicles built from Oct 24, 2019 onward — a VIN outside that window is not part of this campaign even if the year, make and model match.

Model yearClassSafety SignalRecalls on file
2023 Aston Martin DBX 707Large SUVA1
2024 Aston Martin DBX 707Large SUVB2
2025 Aston Martin DBX 707Large SUVB3
2026 Aston Martin DBX 707Large SUVA1

Those are the model years inside WhichTrim's range, 2016 onward. The campaign may cover others outside it, and the only thing that settles whether one specific vehicle is included is its VIN.

How much of it has been fixed

of the campaign

2 quarters into the six-quarter reporting window, and still climbing.

This is the manufacturer's own cumulative count of vehicles it has inspected and repaired, divided by the vehicles the campaign covers. It files that count with NHTSA every quarter for six consecutive quarters, starting from the quarter in which owners were told a remedy was ready, and then the obligation ends — so a figure on an older campaign is where the count stopped, not where it stands today.

It rarely reaches 100%, and not because the work was not done. The same report asks manufacturers to count vehicles they could not reach at all — exported, stolen, scrapped, or simply never located — and those stay in the denominator. A low number means a lot of these vehicles are still out there unrepaired; it does not tell you which ones.

A recall applies to a build range, so year, make and model cannot settle it. Type the VIN and the WhichTrim recall report checks this campaign’s build window and engine against it.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR Part 573

Is RA-41-2086 the same recall as 26V200000?

Yes. RA-41-2086 is the number Aston Martin The Americas uses for this campaign in its own paperwork and in the letter it sends owners. 26V200000 is the number NHTSA files it under. One recall, two references — dealers and service departments generally quote the manufacturer's.

Does this recall repair cost anything?

No. Federal law requires the manufacturer to remedy a safety defect or a compliance failure at no charge, for vehicles up to 15 years old measured from the date of first sale. A dealer that asks you to pay for a recall repair is in the wrong.

How do I know whether my vehicle is included?

By VIN, not by model year. This campaign covers vehicles built from Oct 24, 2019 onward. The manufacturer files a build range with NHTSA and only vehicles inside it are covered, so two identical-looking cars from the same year can differ. NHTSA's own lookup checks a VIN against the manufacturer's list.

What if the repair is not available yet?

It happens, and often. Manufacturers must notify owners when a defect is found even if the parts or the software are not ready, then notify them a second time once the remedy exists. The remedy filed for this campaign is described above.

What did the manufacturer say was wrong?

The problem, risk and fix quoted on this page are the manufacturer's own words as filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 573. WhichTrim does not paraphrase them.

Who started this recall?

NHTSA's record credits the manufacturer. A recall can begin with the manufacturer's own testing, with a defect investigation, or with a compliance test against a Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
