Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2001 Ford Mustang

When I filled my car with gas it started to overflow out of the top through the gas cap area and pour out of the bottom. I had my father check it about an hour later while it was parked and he couldn't find a leak. We determined the automatic stop on the pump must have failed. I went to put $20 of gas in it two days ago and once again it was pouring out of the bottom. Since I didn't fill it up this time, I knew it had to be my car and not the pump. I had my mechanic look at it and he determined the fuel filler hose has rusted through all the way to the plastic cover around it. He told me my car is safe to be driven but not to put gas in. I've ordered the $184 part to repair it and am currently waiting for it to come in to the dealer. I found many complaints of this incident but no official recalls by Ford. Did I miss something somewhere? it seems to me if there are that many problems with this particular part of the car, Ford would have done a recall.
