Based on the AMOC forum thread below, AML should be issuing a recall to perform a safety check on the CCM discs. If Lambo and Bentley had this problem, then you know that it affects AML as well.

It’s the rusting of the heads of the bolts that hold the disc to the disc hub on a 10 year old DBS.
Ten year old car requires maintenance shocker. Is that a fair summary?
It isn't a maintenance item. Bolts that hold the disc to the hat failing is not normal. Discs wear, but they don't suddenly fall apart. Lambo and Bentley both did a safety recall a few years ago to have the dealers inspect and replace the bolts, as needed. Seeing a DBS disc with several missing bolt heads and disc cracks radiating away from the heavily corroded remnants is quite a shocker. It appears from the recall that driving in a salt-heavy environment is the leading contributor. I'll be checking the back side of mine for sure. But I am wondering why AML hasn't issued a similar recall.

They're not rivets, they are flat head bolts. The head breaks off from the bolt shaft.
