Aston Martin is recalling 17,590 cars after discovering that they contain counterfeit parts. The recall affects around 75 percent of the cars produced by Aston Martin since November 2007, and stems from the discovery that a Chinese sub-supplier allegedly used a counterfeit plastic to produce part of the cars gas pedal. Its feared that the counterfeit material may cause the pedal arm to break, although Aston Martin stresses that there have been no reports of accidents related to the fault.
