Anyone get a new recall letter?

I just received another throttle recall letter dated April, 15th. I had the recall done on both my cars in January so I was surprised to receive the letter. Has anyone else received the letter?

So this would be recall number four for the same part? This is ridiculous.

Never got the first letter, let alone any others, but the dealer tells me I need the recall. LOL hello Aston, it's a good thing the internet is there to do your job for you!

What is the recall, is it only newer cars? My 07 has not seen a dealer since 09.

Yes you are probably in the group. The accelerator pedal is defective. Check with your local dealer.

Got it a couple of days ago. I think this is the letter for the third replacement. Information appears in the press and it apparently takes Aston a while to get the letters out.

A "lean" operation

Be kind to AML North America. There are just 17 employees, yes, that's their total US & Canada headcount. There is hardly anyone in the HQ in Irvine. I called for some service advice one day and the lady who answered the phone said she was all alone that day. Irvine must be where the VP, NA has an office. The service experts, 2 that I am aware of, are based in Houston. Both were at AM of Troy last Thursday.

I haven't seen anything at all. Does the recall include the 2006 V8V?

Recall does not include the 06. My dealer claims there is no new recall. They just resent the letter to make everyone aware. Will see what AM NA says.
Be kind to AM? I know Julian, Peter and Candice and I am quite sure they are not adverse to my inquires.

Got my second notice for my 12 Virage a couple days ago. Spoke to dealer this morning and they are picking up the car tomorrow to perform the recall. They received a bunch of the replacement parts last week.
