It appears that the rust may have spread from rust on the rear subframe. The rear subframe warranty was extended for premature rust and failure, but the brake lines are not covered. This could have led to a dangerous situation. I've never had a vehicles brake lines rust like this. They should also extend the warranty coverage to cover rusted brake lines. https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-e250 https://plaincars.com/make/mercedes-benz-e250#complaint-1955428 Thu, 04 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT Purchased and installed OEM diesel fuel filter made by Mann part WK820/17 or 171103 on [XXX] and drove for 9500 miles.
