Description of the problem	While driving my rv i completely lost all braking power, when i pushed on the brake pedal it went to the floor. Thankfully i was on a flat road and knew how to downshift to slow down until i could stop at a safe place. When i checked the brake fluid the container was completely empty, and i never received a low brake fluid indicator light. This is the 2nd time a brake line has corroded from the outside in - the other line failed in december 2015. This incident happened late september 2018. I just can't believe this is not a serious safety issue and hasn't been recalled/addressed. If this were to happen to someone on a highway or going down a hill a serious accident would occur. Corrosion from the outside in is not normal wear, it is clear the parts are defective. I have saved the faulty brake lines from both instances for evidence.
