Problem -cracks in tailgate lens 2001 wagon

Got a 2001 legacy L wagon, and noticed the big lens that has the backup
lights and goes the full width of the hatch, has moisture in it. A closer
look revealed 2 cracks about 1" long starting at the top bodyside edge and
radiating out and down. One is just under the wiper, the other just over
another 6-8". Wondering if this is a typical problem, as they don't seem
to be caused by impact. Given the size of the lens I'm wondering if it is
due to the flex caused by closing the tailgate, and mold stress in the
plastic. Going to the dealer on monday for end of bumper to bumper service
and if its a known issue I'll push for a warranty claim for this item.

TIA

Dealer I brought it in to is going to do it under warranty, making me quite
happy.
