"...the British luxury brand now needs to recall 17,590 vehicles due to counterfeit plastic materials being used by a Chinese sub-supplier – that's roughly 75 percent of the company's output over the same period."

We must have been posting this around the same time...
Regarding the comments made in the Auto Blog article, it strikes me mad how many Aston haters there are. Made in China haters too... Note, I'm writing this response on my iPad which was also made in China. I love my Aston & my iPad however, I wonder if the iPad has any counterfeit plastic in it.
BTW: This is my 399th post.

 

Every company uses parts made in China. That's just how it is.

I called my local dealer and I wasn't affected by the recall, so I'm good until the next notice goes out!
