5 Customer Satisfaction Campaigns

In order to maintain a high level of customer confidence and

satisfaction with Aston Martin products, Aston Martin may

periodically determine that certain service procedures are necessary,

and will assume costs for same, in whole or in part, independent of

the New Vehicle Limited Warranty. When repairs to your vehicle are

covered by the terms of one of these policy adjustments, your Aston

Martin Dealer will advise you of the extent to which Aston Martin will

pay either for parts, or for labor, or both.

If you have a question regarding a possible extra-Warranty

adjustment, an authorized Aston Martin Dealer or Aston Martin can

provide the details when the year, model and Vehicle Identification

Number (VIN) are supplied.

Aston Martin reserves the right to make modifications in vehicles

manufactured or sold by them at any time without incurring any

obligation to make the same or similar modifications in vehicles

previously manufactured or sold by them.

6 Anti-Perforation Corrosion Warranty

The vehicle bodywork is protected by an Anti-Perforation Corrosion

Warranty. Should any part of the bodywork of the Aston Martin

vehicle be perforated the panel(s) affected by the perforation will be

repaired or replaced. The term ‘perforation’ means a hole that

penetrates from the inner surface of a body panel or box section

outwards. A pre-condition of supporting this Warranty is an annual

Dealer inspection (Refer to ’Service’, page A.1).
