Unfortunately, dash cracking is a common problem. In addition to the location above the steering wheel, often the dash will crack near the airbag on the passenger side.

I would suggest that you speak with your dealership service department and discuss the problem. This will provide you with an understanding about what options are available through the dealer. Other options are to purchase an aftermarket dash cover. There are a number available. Another option would be to find a good used dash cover from a wrecker.

You will find a number of posts on this site about the problem. Unfortunately, it has been a common issue.
