I just spent a few minutes writing a lengthy summary, but I got logged out because it took too long, so here is the short, short story.
Techna Fit SS braided brake lines w/ sleeve, 4-5 yrs on the car, HFP suspension, no track use, driven in warm weather.
http://www.ephatch.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=6293&d=1350954941
Picked up car from dealer, drove off, no brakes. No issues before hand. Hose from right-front.
Tech commented on receipt (after replacing with new OEM hose) that is was short and that it may have been pulled.
Talked with service manager about no one telling me verbally or written on first receipt. Don't know why no one said anything; it was as noticeable as a flat tire. Brake hoses normally don't fail in a 4-5 year time frame, unless there is some extreme or severe force/wear/tear.
Pretty concerned about my left front now. Will also be replacing that one soon.
