These would be air springs so you can't compare their failures to steel coil springs. Being that air springs consist only of rubber bellows sealed around a pair of plastic mounts, they are much more likely to fail than steel coil springs. Age and usage environment plays much more of a role in lifespan than mileage on these parts. It's not terribly common but it happens.
Bummer that it interfered with your vacation, but luckily aftermarket springs are not very expensive and they are very easy to replace.
