What's wrong?
The right-side brake master cylinder on the 2024 Aston Martin Valkyrie is part of the hydraulic brake system. It turns brake pedal force into fluid pressure, then lets brake fluid return to the reservoir when the pressure is no longer needed. In normal use, that return path keeps the brakes from staying applied after the driver releases the pedal.
On Valkyries built with the track suspension, the master cylinder seal and piston design does not handle a rare overlap of stability control intervention and heavy pedal braking on track. Electronic Stability Program, or ESP, uses brake pressure at individual wheels to help control a slide. When ESP and pedal braking pressurize the same diagonal brake circuit at the same time, the seal can deform and trap pressure. That pressure keeps the brakes dragging and raises brake temperature.
No instrument-cluster warning appears before this condition. If pressure latches, the driver can feel the brakes dragging, and the brake pedal feel changes from normal driving.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific vehicle.
What's the safety risk?
Overheated brakes increase the risk of a fire. The instrument cluster gives no visual warning, but dragging brakes and brake pedal feel that differs from normal driving are signs to take seriously. If you feel brake drag or an unusual pedal, stop in a safe place and call the dealer. Repair will be free at any franchised Aston Martin dealer once Aston Martin opens it.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2024 Aston Martin Valkyrie is included in this recall.
- Wait for Aston Martin's additional owner letter before scheduling the final brake master cylinder replacement; the dealer repair will be free once it opens.
- Call Aston Martin customer service at 1-888-923-9988 with questions and reference recall number 26V359 (Aston Martin recall RA-06-2062).
- Contact a franchised Aston Martin dealer if the brakes smell hot, drag, or overheat before the final repair opens.
- Keep any recall notice with your service records and bring it when Aston Martin opens the free repair.
What happens at the repair
Once the final remedy opens, an Aston Martin technician will replace the brake master cylinders, free of charge. Aston Martin expects to mail the safety-risk letter on June 17, 2026, then send another owner letter when the repair is available, anticipated in November 2026. The repair procedure is listed as taking up to 5 hours. The reimbursement plan lists no time limit and gives a claim address, so owners who already paid for this repair can contact Aston Martin customer service about reimbursement claim paperwork.
