What's wrong?
The rear lower suspension arm on 2021-2026 Aston Martin DBX707, Dbx S, and Dbx SUVs helps locate the rear wheel and keep the suspension geometry stable as the vehicle accelerates, brakes, and turns. The torque reaction link connects into that arm and is held by a pin and bolt, so the joint needs firm clamp load to keep the pin from moving.
On affected vehicles, the bolt shank for that joint is too small for the full tolerance range of the pin and suspension arm bore. At the loose end of those tolerances, the joint does not clamp the pin firmly enough. The pin can slide, and that movement can crack or shear the rear lower suspension arm casting.
There is no instrument-cluster warning before the rear lower suspension arm fails. The first sign can be a rear noise, an immediate change in vehicle handling, or loss of braking function if the failure is severe.
