Reminder - Check your front brake lines

[Kronos2300]

Basically from the factory the one side was twisted making it touch the tire during turns. When i found it i also realized my local dealer had been rotating my tires the lazy way, they were just taking backs to front and fronts to back same side. Because only my right side tires had the wear mark on them. Needless to say, i go somewhere else now

Oh wow, looks like we had the exact same issue! I guess I’ll keep an eye on that tire from now on to see where they put it next. Thank you for sharing the pictures of your issue!

Things to check after taking delivery

Had the half pushed in fuses. While I was under the hood taking care of that, I noticed there were about 6 places where there were little pieces of masking and/or electrical (the gooey fabric type) tape left over from assembly. They weren’t holding anything or serving any other purpose that I...

This is mine when I caught it, they must be pretty strong lines lasting that long rubbing.

Yeah, I wonder how long this thing has been rubbing for; I guess it’s last this long since technically only happens when doing a full turn right (at least in my case).

Pretty sure that's how you rotate radials unless you have some uneven wear.

Nope. The correct method to rotate tires on our Raptors is to cross the fronts to the rear and bring the rears to the front w/o crossing.

Nope not on a 4x4

HOLY FǓCK

this is a TSB and not a recall... Why exactly?
I had this same issue when I had stainless lines put on my ’97 Mustang Cobra - which I already had Cobra R wheels on. I had the car prepped at the dealer _right next door_, many of the mechanics raced. I can’t blame the mech. on this, he called me over to to show me the travel and how we secured the lines. We both cycled the wheels side to side, up and down and didn’t see any contact. But it did and wore through my driver’s line by rubbing against the tire. We got it fixed but damn, I missed the issue too.

That was a very not fun stopping event.

Update: Got my truck back today, and they were able to confirm the issue and fix the brake line. New line installed that now routes under instead of bending upwards, so no more contact when turning the wheels. Covered under warranty.

If you have the same issue and haven’t addressed it already, take it to the dealership! If the line is as worn out as how mine was, it’s worth taking. If it’s not as bad, you could get away with a zip-tie like I showed in my initial post.
