## What is wrong

Aston Martin The Americas \(Aston Martin\) is recalling certain 2017\-2018 DB11 V12 Coupe and DB11 V8 Coupe vehicles.   The driver's frontal air bag may unexpectedly deploy due to insufficient grounding of the steering components if an electrostatic discharge occurs and the air bag clockspring is broken.


## What can happen

If the driver air bag inadvertently deploys, it can increase the risk of injury and a crash.


## The remedy

Aston Martin will notify owners, and dealers will add sufficient grounding to the steering components, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin March 2018.  Owners may contact Aston Martin customer service at 1\-888\-923\-9988.


## Notes
