Chrysler Recalls 300K Wranglers for Brake Fiuld Leak
Anyway, mine was contacting as well... Doesn't seem to pose an immediate threat but I'll probably trim the plastic, just to be safe..

Driver's side

It looks like it has been "polished" where the contact was made.. That flap only over-hangs a few mm and the strain on the brake line (mine, at least) seems minimal, but you never know.. This is a Rubicon - I'm a total Jeep noob so I'm not sure if/how it would be different on an X, Sahara, etc...

This just in, for all those canadian jk owners (i'm not sure about in the US), thousands of jks from 2007 to 2010 are being re-
-ed for potential damage to brake fluid lines. we are supposed to be notified at the end of this month.
here's a link to the article

Same for the US. I just read the press release. The article stated that Chrysler is recalling 600,000 vehicles (Yes, I said 600,000 vehicles). Of the 600,000, a large portion are 2007-2010 Jeep Wranglers. 
If its just the bottom area of the fender liner rubbing cant I just take a dremel to it and call it a day?? Is there something special that the dealer is going to do??
Id rather not spend hours at the dealer for some BS fix and then have them try to sell me a bunch of crap.

For those guys who do show rubbing, changing that line will be a bitch.

My spouse always pleads with me to switch vehicles, this sounds like a great trade, I mean she will get a coupon for a free coffee, and have the opportunity to watch the "Price is Right' on a crappy tv, while sitting in a crammed waiting room. The good news, she will have plenty of sales reps doting over her, especially since they aren't moving Chrysler products in this area.

I didn't install a lift and yet seem to have plenty of clearance

I checked all and there was similar clearance on all brake lines, none of the brake lines touched inner fender liners on my 2009 Sahara. Here is a photo just taken of the driver front

Can anyone else with a '10 confirm/deny this? i can't see my girl (my jeep) for a few more days and I'd love to stop worrying! so what I'm really asking is.. does anyone with a '10 have rubbing or liners that are touching the brake lines? thanks!
