Thx. Only for cars with automatic gearbox (Parking issue) ? Battery issue for same production years? Let's wait for official statement with exact details.

Looks like details about the second batch of recalls have been released:

"The Gaydon, England-based company is also recalling 1,953 DB9 and DBS vehicles manufactured between 2005 and 2009 because their battery supply cables can be damaged when the driver seat is in the full rearward location, which could ultimately increase the risk of a fire, the documents said."

Dang it! 1 car for fire and another for rolling away. Last time it was for the stupid throttle pedal.

Battery cable, oh my gosh I'm on fire thing is for RH drive vehicles with long legged peeps. NA spec appears to be simple software flash for the I can't find P issue. No one has been injured yet?
