Problem Aston Martin The Americas (Aston Martin) is recalling certain 2021 DBX vehicles. The vehicles were incorrectly built without headliner foam blocks. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact." Risk The missing foam blocks can increase the risk of injury to unbelted occupants in the event of a crash. Fix Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will install the headliner foam blocks, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin January 31, 2021. Owners may contact Aston Martin customer service at 1-888-923-9988. Aston Martin's number for this recall is RA-30-1471.

Two numbers, one recall

Every safety recall carries two identifiers. RA-30-1471 is the number Aston Martin assigned in its own system: it is what appears on the owner letter, on the dealer’s service screen and on the repair order. 20V784000 is the number NHTSA filed the same recall under when the manufacturer reported it, and it is the one every federal record, this site included, is keyed on.

The repair is free by federal law for vehicles up to fifteen years old. Whether one particular vehicle is included is settled by its VIN against the manufacturer’s build list, not by its model year.

Check one specific vehicle

Both lookups check a VIN against the manufacturer’s own list and say whether the repair is still outstanding on that vehicle.
