While performing a requested tire rotation, mechanic noted that one of the front brake lines had been nearly cut through due to rubbing against the brake caliper. Service advisor called to notify me of the problem, which is covered under warranty. However, he was extremely careful to explain to me the potentially catastrophic nature of the problem. Furthermore, he went on to assure me that he was most concerned about my safety. The service advisor's name was "rod".
