Aston Martin Valkyrie Coupe and Valkyrie Spider recalled over a fire risk

Vehicle fire risk

On affected vehicles in a combination of very specific conditions the seal within one of the brake master cylinders can deform. This can lead to brake fluid not being released back into the reservoir causing drag and leading to an increase in temperature increasing the risk of a localised fire.
