This is interesting. That bolt has a very high torque spec (it's apparently very hard to remove). I wonder if it was under-torqued when installed, leading to a fatigue failure?

I would consider having the bolt on the other side replaced, and having the torque on both sides verified. My $.02
Doesn't look like the bolt failed - looks like they were in the middle of disassembly when the photo was taken.
