1 Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2023

Front passenger side brake line failed when driving down a rural highway. The line failed just below the inboard fitting. Obviously losing the brakes put me and my family in a dangerous situation. Luckily we were able to bring the vehicle to a stop in a near by dot yard. This happened at night so we slept in the dot yard. We were able to find a replacement line in a near by town and get it repaired the next morning. I inspected the drivers side line and found a buldge in the same location. I have replaced that line as well. I have saved the lines incase someone would like to inspect them. I did not notice any symptoms proir to the failure. The only warning lamp or message I received was after I had lost some brake fluid.
