Aston Martin Recalls DBX Again Just One Week After Previous Recall

Another Week, Another Recall

It hasn’t been long since Aston Martin initiated a voluntary recall of the DBX, following concerns about its tire pressure monitoring system. That issue alone was enough to raise eyebrows about a model that serves as the brand’s volume seller.

Now, just a week later, the DBX is facing a new recall, and this time it’s not about electronics. The problem is with the rear suspension, which has a much bigger impact on how the SUV actually drives.

Bolt Gone Wrong

According to the safety recall report, the root of the problem is a thinner-than-ideal bolt in the rear lower suspension. If things line up the wrong way, a pin can slip out, putting extra stress on the joint. Over time, that can crack or even break the suspension arm.

That’s not a small issue. If the suspension arm fails, it can mess with how the DBX handles and even damage the rear brakes. Worst case, it could lead to a crash.

Aston Martin reports three known cases globally involving damaged rear suspension arms out of over 13,000 vehicles, with one incident resulting in a collision attributed to brake line damage following suspension failure. No injuries have been reported.

In the US alone, nearly 4,000 DBXs could be affected, covering everything from the standard model to the DBX 707 and the newer DBX S. The issue goes back as far as October 2019 and runs all the way through September 2025, so it’s not limited to just a few early builds.

So far, failures have only shown up on one side at a time, but Aston Martin isn’t ruling out more cases popping up.

What Owners Should Do

The fix sounds simple enough: dealers will swap out the old bolts for beefier ones that hold everything in place better. While they’re at it, they’ll check the suspension arms for cracks and replace them if needed.

If it’s just the bolts, you’re looking at about an hour in the shop. If the suspension arms need replacing, it could take up to four hours per side. Either way, the repair is free.

If you own a DBX, check whether your SUV is affected and book a visit to the dealer soon. This is one recall you don’t want to put off. Notifications will roll out in phases through May 2026, but you can already check your VIN online.
