What's wrong?
The oil cooler outlet hose on the 2024-2025 Aston Martin DB12, DBX707, and Vantage carries engine oil through the cooling system. Its job is to move hot oil away from the engine so the oil stays within the right temperature range and keeps pressure for lubrication.
On affected vehicles, the hose was made with an inconsistent inner diameter during extrusion, the manufacturing step that forms the hose. That variation left ribs inside the hose; when the hose was shaped, those ribs folded or tore and left score marks on the inner wall. Engine starts and normal driving repeatedly change oil temperature and pressure, and those scored areas weaken until the hose splits.
The listed signs appear after the hose has already failed, not before it. The driver can see a low oil level or low oil pressure warning on the instrument panel, and smoke can appear from the engine bay area.
Who's affected?
DB12, DBX707, and Vantage vehicles from 2024 and 2025 are grouped here because they use the same oil cooler outlet hose assembly.
