Aston Martin is recalling more than 17,500 cars, including the 2013 Aston Martin DB9.

Aston Martin is recalling 75% of its sports cars produced since 2007 – including all of its left-hand drive vehicles – due to a counterfeit plastic part from a sub-supplier in China.

The recall affects 17,590 vehicles, including all of the right-hand drive models built since May 2012. The only car not impacted is the Vanquish.

According to documents filed with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Aston Martin found that Shenzhen Kexiang Mould Tool Co. Ltd. was using a counterfeit plastic material supplied by Synthetic Plastic Raw Material Co. Ltd. of Dongguan, to manufacture affected accelerator pedal arms.

The pedal arm may break, causing the engine to return to idle. The vehicle is unable to maintain or increase speed, increasing the risk of a crash, according to the documents. There have been 22 part failures reported to date, but no injuries or fatalities.

The recall impacts cars from model years 2008 through 2014. Of the Aston Martin cars affected in the recall, 7,271 are in Europe and 5,001 in the United States, the company said. The latest recall replaces one announced last May and expanded in October.

Last May, Aston Martin initially recalled 2,832 cars globally to replace the accelerator pedal arm after finding the affected part included material that did not meet specifications. This included the replacement arms.

The new recall includes all of the vehicles that have already had the replacement done as part of the earlier recall. Aston Martin is now being supplied directly by a DuPont Co. distributor.

To ensure the integrity of the new parts both Aston Martin and DuPont sent people to China to directly supervise the production of all pedal arms, including verifying each bag of DuPont plastic material, according to the automaker, adding it plans to shift production from China to the United Kingdom in the near future.
