How this is possible? Is it a manufacturing defect?

Wow, totally surprised to see all of those cracks. Especially since you have garage kept it, although garage or no garage I don't think I've ever seen dash cracking like that. Maybe, for what it's worth, it was a manufacturing defect when molding the dash pieces. Maybe, but probably not, Nissan may help?

The dash cover looks fine. Good fix.

Regardless of where you live and the climate, cars are manufactured to endure extremes and this seems over-the-top and reflective of a quality issue.

I’d think Nissan would want to know about this and I’d hope even more that they’d take steps toward a remedy.

I just noticed I have a small crack in my dashboard. That is something that has always bothered me and now my truck has one. Is there anything that can be done this early to help slow it from getting bigger? Can an upholstery shop maybe fill it with something with a color match sealant or something? I guess I will eventually be replacing the dash but have seen images of guys doing that on the forum and I’m not sure if I want to get into that anytime soon. I bet the long freeze we had a few months ago made the dash harden and become brittle. Then the sun just made it crack like yesterday.
