Lower bumper trim cracking

[chippa_t]

Was starting to clean up car yesterday and noticed that the lower bumper trim seems to look like it’s cracking in a couple areas like this in the front. Anyone else have or notice this?

No one else has posted about this and unfortunately I don't believe it is a warranty item.

Not really a "bumper to bumper" warranty if it does not cover the bumper

I would think it should be warrenty unless it is caused by an impact.

Wonder if bumper needs to come off for replacement. Potential can of worms.

I was just going by this, but I could be wrong. It wouldn't be the first time.

I know what mean about being. 20 years ago I had a new Ford Ranger and a fog light cracked. Took it in to the dealer for warranty and it was denied. No sign of impact but I had to pay for a new one. Could be the same results here but I hope he better luck than I did.

Always trying to be careful with warranty work. Go in for cracked plastic, come back with mis-aligned and scratched up bumper. But thanks guys.
