Aston Martin has to recall 6,076 examples of model year 2010-2015 DB9, 2010-2012 DBS, 2010-2016 V8 Vantage, 2012 Virage, 2010-2016 Rapide, 2014-2016 Vanquish, 2011-2016 V12 Vantage and 2012-2013 V12 Zagato, because the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said the double-lock system on these cars did not meet certain regulations of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard.
