## What is wrong

Aston Martin is recalling certain model year DB9, Virage, V8 Vantage, V12 Vantage, and Rapide vehicles manufactured from May 14, 2012, through April 10, 2013.  Due to a manufacturing error, the throttle pedal arm may break.


## What can happen

If the throttle pedal arm breaks, the engine will return to idle and the driver will be unable to maintain or increase engine speed, increasing the risk of a crash.


## The remedy

Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will replace the throttle pedal assemblies.  The recall began July 19, 2013.  Owners may contact Aston Martin customer service by calling 1\-888\-923\-9988.  Aston Martin's recall number is RA\-03\-0016.
