Aston Martin Australia has recalled 217 examples of the DBX SUV, due to a fault which could result in a loss of power and assisted steering, among other functions.
“The fixings for the fuse box cables may not have been tightened to the correct torque. This could lead to a sudden loss of motive power, loss of headlights and power assisted steering, and/or loss of other essential vehicle functions,” the carmaker said in its recall notice.
“Hazard warning lights may appear on the instrument cluster to alert the driver that multiple vehicle functions are not fully operational.
“A loss of headlights, power assisted steering and a loss of motive power may occur if the warning lights are ignored, this could increase the potential risk of an accident causing injury or death to vehicle occupants and/or other road users.”
