Hairline cracks above the volume knob

I just noticed this a couple of nights ago. You can't see it during the day. At night, right above the volume knob on the black plastic there's the word "volume"/"vol". I noticed some hairline cracks where some of the pale green light would seep through the black plastic panel. Anyone notice this as well?

I'm guessing that there's a fastener behind that area that was overtorqued or something. Take it to the dealer and have them replace the panel. It should be warranty work.

Yeah. Go to the dealer - make them deal with it. Shouldn't be too hard.

Got a pic to show us? Or you could use this pic and tell us where exactly it is. Thanks.

Dealers should be able to fix this.
