A/C line defect?

[resq4310]

I have a hole that has worn into the smaller A/C line right under the air cleaner box. There is a strut mounting bolt that rubs on this line and has finally caused a full evacuation of my freon. Anyone else have this issue? Only 38000mi on a 2003 XLT. Trying to get Ford to cover it, will keep you posted.
