Are these bolts available to buy from AML?
Didn't someone post on here a while back and found out that AML only sell the bolts along with the entire rotor assembly!
They are a balanced assembly bought in from Brembo hence the bolts are not really serviceable. Didn't someone post on here a while back and found out that AML only sell the bolts along with the entire rotor assembly!
For the want of a bolt, the disc was lost, for the want of the thick end of £6000/axle, your car is back up and running.
Ouch!

So, if you have corroded bolts then the AML way to resolve this is a new rotor.

Well not really diy serviceable, but sure there must be somewhere that can do this...For the want of a bolt, the disc was lost, for the want of the thick end of £6000/axle, your car is back up and running.

After ten years? A decade of driving?
Yes. This is a safety issue. A recall is warranted. In the US GM did a recall on ingnition switches that I believe went back at least ten years.
That said recalls are based in many cases on reported issues. In Aston’s case I suspect there were not as many reported issues. This does not absolve them because the same argument can be made for Bentley etc.
If its safety critical, and a bad/poor/defective design originally, there should be no time limit.

I had the same problem on my 599 and the specialist broke one of the discs getting the bolts out/ bell off.
Was the Ferrari subject to a recall?I haven’t seen a recall for other brands either - MB, Porsche to name a couple of others?

Basically yes. Ten year old car with low mileage. It is a safety critical item, and expensive for an owner to address.
Something to keep an eye on but awkward to check as occurs on the back of the disc assembly.

Did you ever sort out yr discs as my F430 has done the same on some bolts??
Kind regards
