leather on the dashboard cracks, does warranty cover the repair?

Suddenly found the leather in front the screen has two cracks (as shown in the pic), not sure what caused it.
Does the warranty cover it?

If it's determined that the crack is, in fact, a defect and the car is still under warranty, then yes, it should be covered.

That doesn't look like a crack, but rather like someone trying to pry the bezel off the idrive screen. looks to straight and even. BTW, the dash is not leather and the likely fix would be some type of minor blemish repair... no way they would replace the dash for that, unless you can prove it is a defect

Yes, i am so confused what could cause it.
But I am the only driver, and I didn't pry it for sure.
The car has been in the dealer only once for replacing a tire so far. I don't think they have touched this part as well.
The crack is at the place that it's very hard to discover from the driver side.
Would it be some kind of sun damage? Because I have two transparent suction cups on my windshield, would it be possible that the suction cups focus the sun light on the dashboard, and burn it?

I agree that it's doubtful the dealer will do a thing.

Thankfully vinyl is easily repaired.
