This is YOUR picture #4 with a red arrow for where you need to look. If they are not touching any other silver lines then you are likely good to go.
EVERYONE SHOULD SKIP LOOKING AT MY PICTURES AND JUST CHECK INSDE THEIR DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL WELL AND COMPARE TO THE ABOVE PICTURE WITH THE RED ARROW.
(My service tech must have repositioned those two electrical conduits and tied them to the frame with a cable tie therefore blocking my view. Everyone else should have a clear view of the lines by pulling back the wheel well plastic shell.)

Thanks, I'll take a closer look !!
Edit----just looked, I can easily pass my fingers thru there. I think I'll put some pipe insulation there to be safe though. Thanks for catching this and letting everyone know.

We fell victim to this design flaw as well...good thing Chrysler fixed it under warranty. Only cost me two extra unwanted days with the in-laws, we were visiting when it happened.
