Recall 25V001 covers 1,452 2024-2025 Aston Martin DB12, Vantage, and DBX707 vehicles for an obstructed rearview camera. Free software update.
Aston Martin is recalling 1,452 2024-2025 DB12, Vantage, and DBX707 vehicles under recall 25V001 because the infotainment home screen menu can obstruct the rearview camera image when the vehicle is in reverse. That reduces rear visibility and raises the risk of a crash or injury; Aston Martin dealers will complete the recall repair free of charge.

What's wrong?
The head unit software in the 2024-2025 Aston Martin DB12, Vantage, and DBX707 controls what appears on the center infotainment display. That display is part of the back-over prevention system. When the driver shifts into reverse, the software is supposed to give the rearview camera priority so the view behind the vehicle appears clearly.
On these vehicles, a software fault changes the order in which display applications start. The infotainment home screen menu can appear over the rearview camera image after reverse is selected. That blocks part of the camera view and leaves the vehicle out of compliance with the rear visibility standard.
The warning sign is visible right away: the reverse camera image is obscured on the display. The rearview mirror, side mirrors, and rear parking sensors still operate, so use them while arranging the software repair.
Who's affected?
Covers three Aston Martin model lines across the 2024 and 2025 model years, all using the same head unit software.

What's the safety risk?
An obstructed rearview camera image reduces rear visibility and increases the risk of a crash or injury. If the camera view is obscured, use the rearview and side mirrors and rear parking sensors, then schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Aston Martin dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your Aston Martin is included in this recall for the 2024-2025 DB12, 2025 Vantage, or 2025 DBX707.
- Contact a franchised Aston Martin dealer to schedule the free head-unit software update that keeps the infotainment home screen from blocking the rearview camera image.
- Ask whether your vehicle needs a dealer visit or can receive the free over-the-air update.
- Bring the owner letter if you have it, and reference recall number 25V001 and Aston Martin recall RA-30-2015 when you call.
- Use extra care when reversing until the update is complete. Check mirrors and look behind the vehicle if the camera view is blocked.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Aston Martin technician updates the head unit software so the rearview camera image is no longer covered by the infotainment home screen when reverse is selected. The same software fix can also be completed through an over the air update. The recall repair is free whether it is completed at the dealership or through the OTA update. If your vehicle still needs dealer service after the software update, contact an Aston Martin dealer and reference recall RA-30-2015.
