Battery cable recall for 04-08 DB9's
 

Anybody heard about this, I have not gotten anything from AM about this.
Also, what is a quarantine notice?
Went on AM's tech site, but they want me to pay to find out. Guess they are hurting for money. :(

just found this - https://auto-recalls.justia.com/asto...000/index.html

​​​​​​My understanding was that it was limited to RHD cars.

If you look at my first post which was taken from AM's website, it says Federal view which I took to mean LHD cars.

Well it seems that they haven't notified the US government. You can look up recalls by VIN or year make model. This is the federal website for the US. I am not sure what the federal website is for the UK.

I'm not sure AML vehicles show up on the NHTSA site. It looks like lower-volume mfrs aren't listed. I remember looking for recalls prior to buying my '07 DB9 and nothing showed up when I entered my VIN.

Battery cable re-route is only for cars with right side seat (battery side of vehicle, could be left or right drive) that has lower cushion rise/fall. So in the USA its only the early seats 05/06 MY.

I was wrong it is not just RHD cars but the right seat with height adjustment if not properly calibrated can pinch the cable and cause a short when in the fully back position.
Here is the link to the full information on the recall.
