What's wrong?
The brake tube on these 2010 Wrangler, Nitro, Liberty, and Ram vehicles carries pressurized brake fluid from the master cylinder to the hydraulic control unit. The master cylinder creates brake pressure when you press the pedal, and the hydraulic control unit routes that pressure through the brake system, including during anti-lock braking.
The problem is the formed end of that brake tube. The flare at the end of the tube is supposed to seat tightly against the fitting so brake fluid stays sealed inside the line. On affected vehicles, that flare was not formed correctly. If it does not seal as designed, brake fluid can leak at the connection and brake pressure drops.
There is no warning sign before failure. Do not rely on a dashboard light, noise, or pedal change to tell you whether this recall applies.
Who's affected?
The scope spans four model lines from one model year, all tied to the hydraulic brake system.

| Units affected | 20,626 |
A matching 2010 model does not guarantee inclusion. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
Brake fluid loss reduces braking performance and increases the risk of a crash. Until the recall repair is completed, pay close attention to braking response and schedule service promptly if your VIN is included. Repair will be free at any franchised Ram dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2010 Jeep Wrangler, Nitro, Liberty, or Ram is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Ram dealer and ask about the free brake-tube replacement for recall number 10V315.
- Bring the recall notice if Jeep mailed one. If not, reference recall number 10V315 when you call.
- Call Jeep customer service at 1-800-853-1403 with questions about the brake-tube recall.
