What's wrong?
The engine oil cooler outlet hose on the 2023-2024 Aston Martin Dbx carries engine oil through the cooler circuit. It helps move hot oil away from the engine so the oil can keep lubricating moving parts. The hose has to hold pressure while the engine is running.
On affected vehicles, the hose was built with a thin wall because of an incorrect winding process during manufacture. That weak section can split under oil pressure. If the hose bursts, the engine can lose oil suddenly, and oil pressure drops with it.
Before failure, the driver can see an instrument-panel warning for low oil level or low oil pressure. After the hose fails, smoke can appear from the engine area as oil escapes.
Who's affected?
Both model years use the same oil cooler outlet hose assembly listed for this recall.

A sudden loss of oil and oil pressure can stall or seize the engine, increasing the risk of a crash or fire. Treat a low-oil pressure message or smoke from the engine area as a reason to pull over and call the dealer. Repair is free at any franchised Aston Martin dealer.
