Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem

Fuel hose broken without any reason I have known of. I drove my car in casual manner (short distance from work to home) with 7900 miles on it and didn't recall hitting anything hard underneath my car. Parked my car last Friday. On Sunday, my 05 Rav4 couldn't start and smelled gasoline. Looked down the vehicle and found out fuel hose was broken and leaking gasoline. Called firefighters to stop the fuel hose leakage. Towed my car to dealership, they said it needed to be replaced the whole fuel line. Consequences could be fatal if fire object close by. There may be a potential fault on the design of this vehicle because the fuel hose shouldn't be broken easier and caused the leak of gasoline.
