1 Brakes Failed problem

Failure Date: 11/16/2016

While avoiding another vehicle I applied my brakes suddenly. The bake like connecting the abs unit and the rear brakes failed due to corrosion/rust that was not observable due to the line being ran between the vehicles frame and body and gas tank. Although this location might have made for easy manufacturing it has led to the line being in a location that cannot be visually inspected to prevent dangerous conditions from building up from lack of awareness. .
