Aston Martin vehicles: ESP module control program design insufficient, causing unnecessary DTCs

Country	Japan
Category	Automotive
Published	2025-09-30
Manufacturer	Aston Martin Japan LLC
Models affected	Vanquish
Units affected	29
Defect	In the control program of the ESP (Electronic Stability Program) module, due to insufficient design review, unnecessary DTCs (Diagnostic Trouble Codes) may be incorrectly detected when the engine starts, causing the brake warning light to illuminate and the vacuum pump to stop operating. As a result, the brake booster cannot maintain negative pressure, requiring more pedal force than usual, and potentially leading to a longer braking distance than the driver expects.
