Recall on Gas Pedal
Just wondering, has anyone had this fixed yet (the second, recent recall)? I placed an order with AM Beverly Hills and it's been a little over 3 weeks, with no word or ETA from the factory on the part.
I ordered a trim piece and it took about 2 months, but I thought the pedals were sourced from someone else.

I put my order in for the recall in mid-December. The local dealership told me there was a huge back up. Since AM sent out hundreds of letters but only sent them a couple dozen sets to fix the pedal problem.
They also told me not bring my car in until they called and confirmed the parts were in since they have to quarantine the car ... and they are running out of storage space with customer cars.
I guess we just have to be patient.

I had mine fixed 2 weeks ago, because it was in for another issue. However I overheard a conversation and think they had a limited number sent out initially, and they we're slated for new stock inventory. They used one of those

Sounds like dealer BS to me. There a very few Quarantine Notices by Aston (lots of Service Actions, Bulletins and some Recalls). AFAIK, only Quarantine Notices actually require AM dealers to quarantine the car, not Safety Recalls such as this.
Maybe our tech buddies can comment?

And by the way, my local dealer no longer provides courtesy loaner cars but "we can arrange a rental car through Enterprise for you."

Yes pedals are on back order. Aston did only send out what they had at first, to fix our stock units. The holding of cars is really only for our stock units. When people call us we get there information and get a pedal order. The pedals are ordered with a vin that way we can track what has been done.
What happens with the pedal is when you press it all the way to the floor they hit the firewall plate and break. If you had the recall done the first time the don't break has easy, as if you never had it done. So the recall replaces the pedal with a new material one, and we adjust the back plate on the firewall. We found on v8 is where a lot of the problem with the backing plate.
