Brake Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings problems of the 2010 Jeep Wrangler

The front brake lines have an insulator that covers the hard pipe to rubber connection. This insulator allows moisture to collect between it and the metal fitting that connects the two different line materials. The connection rots through and then begins to leak. The rear lines do not have this insulator on that connection and they are in perfect condition. The insulator appears to be the cause of the premature failure. I noted the loss of brake fluid while doing other maintenance on the Jeep.

Took the vehicle in for a yearly inspection and garage told me there was a problem with the brake lines rubbing on the tires when the wheels were turned all the way. Mechanic showed me the wear and asked if I put any after market parts on the vihicle. I confirmed everything was stock. Told me there should be a recall being this was a manufacturing problem where the brake lines were routed too close to the tires and almost wore through the brake lines. Took it to the dealership to have lines rerouted and no recalls were issued for this problem. Did some research and found other similar complaints on several Jeep forums. Dealership said they had never heard of such problems.
