What's wrong?
The hydraulic brake tubes on a 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler carry pressurized brake fluid through the brake system. When you press the brake pedal, that fluid pressure helps the brakes clamp down at the wheels. The tubes need clear space around them so nearby body parts do not rub through the metal line.
In this recall, the front inner fender liners can contact the brake tubes. The contact points are at the right front and left rear brake tubes. As the vehicle is driven, that rubbing can wear into a tube until brake fluid leaks from the system.
There is no warning sign before failure. Because the damage comes from contact and wear at the tube, an owner is not given a clear advance signal before the tube is worn enough to leak.
Who's affected?
Spans the 2007, 2008, 2009, and 2010 Wrangler model years, all tied to the hydraulic brake system.

A matching year and model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether this recall applies to your specific SUV.
What's the safety risk?
A brake fluid leak can cause partial loss of service brakes at the affected wheel and increase the risk of a crash. Schedule the recall repair when the remedy is available, and ask the dealer what to do if brake performance changes. Repair will be free at any franchised Jeep dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2007-2010 Jeep Wrangler is included in this recall.
- Confirm with a franchised Jeep dealer that the free brake-tube repair is open before scheduling service.
- Ask the dealer to inspect and repair the brake tubes that contact the inner fender liners and leak brake fluid.
- Bring the owner notice if Jeep mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V236 when you call.
- Drive cautiously until the repair is complete. Leave extra following distance and stop if you notice brake-fluid loss or reduced braking.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Jeep technician will repair the brake tube issue identified in recall 10V236 once the remedy is available. The official remedy does not name the exact parts operation, but the defect involves contact between the front inner fender liners and brake tubes, which can wear the tubes and lead to a brake fluid leak. The final dealer repair will be free once Jeep opens it.
