Owners of £133,000 Aston Martin DB9 and DBS models have been asked to return their vehicles over issues related to overheating of the seats.
According to reports, the control mechanism for the front heated seats 'may fail if the ignition switch was turned on which could lead to overheating and under certain circumstances burn the bottom of the driver. .
The DBS model was used by Daniel Craig in the James Bond films Quantum of Solace and Casino Royale and is reportedly popular amongst celebrities and athletes.
Daily Mail cited a recall notice on the European Commission website as saying: "The control module for the front heated seats may fail when the ignition is switched on.
"This could allow a permanent feed to the seat heater element(s) and it may not be possible to switch off the heating.
"This fault could cause the seat to overheat and in extreme circumstances the seat occupants may receive burns."
According to the Sun, around 8,300 UK built Aston Martin cars are affected by the issue, and the cars were manufactured between June 15, 2006 and November 6, 2014.
