The front axle vent cap may blow off due to excessive pressure buildup inside the axle housing, often caused by overheating or the expansion of gases. This can occur if the axle lubricant is contaminated or if the axle experiences significant thermal cycling, which increases internal pressures. Additionally, a blocked vent can prevent proper ventilation, leading to a dangerous pressure buildup. Regular maintenance and ensuring the vent is clear can help prevent this issue.

That hose is most likely to be the axle vent. It has a hose on it to prevent water from entering your axle and differential if you drive through deep water. It should be secured up above the axle somewhere and just fell down. You can look at your rear axle to see how the hose there is secured and do the same thing for the front.
