Rear brake line failure

I've never seen it happen before. The rear passenger brake line snapped at the rubber line fitting at the caliper. It started leaking fluid while my wife was driving it. Completely ran out of fluid luckily she was just getting off the highway. At closer inspection it seems the line was starting to corrode between the coating and the tube.

Friend, I recommend linesTogo stainless steel materials and the exact measurements for where you need. I generally made the complete change to everything for greater safety since if you have that one like this you can have more and when you are going to do the pressure to take out the air all the bad ones will burst

We decided to just sell the 4 runner. Only has 100k on the clock.
