Cracked Passenger Side Air Bag

Fellas,

I noticed 2 cracks on the passenger side air bag of my car. The cracks are perfectly straight. Anybody have this same issue? Is this covered under some sort of warranty since its a safety issue? I dont't want to be driving down the road and all of a sudden that air bag pops open. FYI...I have an 06 Shinka and I live in TX. I'm thinkng the heat played a role on this as well. Please let me know if you have any info. Thanks!

Common problem, more common in hotter states:

There is a big thread around here somewhere about it. It's just the surface plastic. It can't trigger the air bag system.
