What's wrong?
The tire pressure monitoring system, or TPMS, on the 2025-2026 Aston Martin Dbx and Dbx S watches tire pressure and warns the driver when a tire is underinflated. When a tire loses air, the system is supposed to turn on the dashboard warning light in time for the driver to respond. That warning depends on the TPMS software storing the correct calibration values for the vehicle.
On affected vehicles, the production coding process did not apply those values correctly. The reset used during manufacturing left the TPMS module without the correct stored settings for slow pressure loss. That means the warning light does not illuminate as intended for a slow leak, even though the tire is losing pressure.
Owners still get a TPMS warning for punctures where pressure drops quickly. The missing warning involves a diffusion puncture, meaning a slow loss of tire pressure over time, where the light does not come on within the required time.
Who's affected?
Covers Dbx and Dbx S across the 2025 and 2026 model years, all tied to the same tire-pressure monitoring software.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
A slow tire pressure drop can leave an affected Dbx or Dbx S underinflated without a TPMS warning. Underinflated tires increase the risk of a crash, so check tire pressure manually and schedule the software update soon. Repair is free at any franchised Aston Martin dealer.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2025-2026 Aston Martin Dbx or 2026 Aston Martin Dbx S is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Aston Martin dealer to schedule the free TPMS software update that restores the tire-pressure warning light.
- Bring the recall notice if Aston Martin has mailed one. If not, reference recall number 26V187 when you call.
- Check tire pressure manually before driving until the software update is complete, and do not rely only on the TPMS light.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, an Aston Martin technician updates the TPMS software so the tire pressure warning light illuminates as intended when a tire is underinflated. The recall repair is free, with parts and labor covered at no cost to the owner. The procedure takes up to 12 minutes and is also part of a wider DBX software update campaign, so the dealer can complete it with other module updates during the same service visit.
