Hello All
Not seeing the damaged area of hose and or how it was installed I think that is just an assumption.

And you have done the same. That is the nature of helping over over the internet. Based on the information available my conclusion is logical, as is famousbob's.

Was the hose kinked at some point in its life?
Excessive radius routing the hose?
Defect during manufacturing?
Numerous things and cause a failure.
Happy Mopar :)
