How Many Recalls Has Aston Martin Had?
Since 2020 Aston Martin has launched 8 UK recalls. Adjusted for its cars on the road, that is 27.24 car recalls per 100,000 licensed cars.
The per-car figure divides car recalls since 2020 by the number of Aston Martin cars licensed in the UK in 2026 Q2, with van-only recalls removed.2 Aston Martin has a small number of cars on UK roads, so one or two recalls can move this rate a long way. A higher count doesn't mean a car is less reliable: it reflects the size of the range, how vans are counted and how readily a maker recalls. See which car makes have the most recalls.

- Models with fewer than 5 refs show lists, not rates.
- Code timelines: Producers normally respond to DVSA within 28 days (5.5); DVSA reviews are typically monthly (5.4). DVSA must be notified "as soon as the safety defect has been confirmed" (6.1). 3 notifications per motorist is seen as reasonable (8.3). Response rates are reported every three months (11.1).
