 Description of the problemWhile driving vehicle at approx 45mph in the rh lane approaching an intersection with an illuminated green right-turn arrow(my lane), a vehicle in the same lane, traveling same direction, suddenly stopped at the green light at the intersection. I immediately applied hard pressure to brake pedal, only to have it slam straight to the floor-board with very little braking action. I was able to quickly down-shift and apply parking brake in time to avoid collision with stopped vehicle. I carefully drove vehicle to my home, approx 3 miles from incident intersection. Upon inspection i noted brake master-cylinder empty (it was topped-off to "max" line when checked evening prior), and hydraulic fluid sprayed all-around right (passenger)-side front inner wheel and puddled/dripping at banjo-bolt. You-tube research found a similar situation with a jeep 2 model years older than mine. Link to video: https://www. Youtube. Com/watch? V=nvdzj874xum&list=pldw3mie2v4tcrduua9d8rbclqv8qa1mfb&index=2&t=1230s when i removed the right brake hose assembly, the metal crimp-on fitting to the flex-hose was completely disintegrated by corrosion. I replaced the left brake hose assembly as well, and found nearly as-severe corrosion on the metal crimp-on fittings though no leakage had occurred from there during this incident. See attachments for digital pics taken throughout the repair process, and excerpts from the maintenance logbook i maintain on this vehicle. I have another, newer (2014) jeep wrangler that has the same flexible brake-hose installation at build. I intend to remove/replace those hoses at next scheduled inspection, in approx 6-8 weeks. I will report findings and link to this report. Please contact me at the email/phone provided, or at my work email: [xxx] i believe likelihood of like-failures is high, severity could be catastrophic. Thank you!

  • What is Recall?

    A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
  • What is Failure?

    Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.
