NHTSA Complaint #11625711 — 2017 HONDA CR-V

I took my CRV to replace the tires and get the brakes done. The mileage was 134583. While in the shop the mechanic showed me the brake lines for the front. Both front brake lines had large bulges, balloon-like, and appeared ready to burst. It seemed unusual for both brake lines to exhibit the same failure, at the same time, through regular wear and tear. In reviewing available data, brake lines are expect to last the life of the vehicle and this certainly did not, presenting a potential safety risk. I asked the mechanic to provide me with the brake lines, which I have included photos of below, and will share with Honda (Heritage Honda in Bel Air, MD) where the vehicle was purchased. Note the bulges in the photo are much less once the brake lines were disconnected; however the area where the bulges were is still apparent.
