Heads Up for Brake Line Check

Absolutely agree! My assessment is that it's a manufacturing design defect. The tube was bent enough to damage the paint coating during manufacture.

If you live in a salt humid environment you can expect to self destruct sooner than later.

You can prevent failure with some steel wool and some rust stopping paint

Correct, That is what I did not do. Mine sits on rainy and snowing days and I drive something else. Washed out the under panels multiple times a year. Nothing short of pulling the panels, unsnapping the lines from their holders, and brushing on some Rust-Oleum or POR 15, will resolve the problem. Do it now and do not wait like I did.
