REC-000015
active2010–2012 ASTON MARTIN V8 VANTAGE
Service Action SA-07-0209 was issued to update the transmission software on a quantity of Aston Martin V8 Vantage vehicles with SportShift II transmission. The Service Action did not give instructions to delete the stored clutch adaptions and wear-index data and in some conditions, the stored clutch settings are not compatible with the software update. This can cause: • At some throttle positions, the transmission miss a gearchange without control from the driver. In some cases, this can result in the vehicle selecting neutral. If this happens, the driver can still use the gear select paddles to select a gear. • The clutch can slip and overheat. If this happens, the transmission will go into a 'clutch protection' mode. The engine Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) will come on and gearchanges will be abrupt until the temperature of the clutch falls. Normal gear change will then return. This function protects the clutch from damage.
