I will say that this is NOT common on your vehicle, the main times I see this issue is after a dash is "repaired" when an air bag is depolyed on the passenger side after a collision, the dash is constructed of a thick hard plastic material, then it has a slight insulation layer before the soft vinyl cover is applied, if the top layer of the dash is cracking or seperating then your options are limited here, you can basically have the dash repaired or replaced, there are interior vinyl repair companies that cater to dealerships and owners to correct issues like this, basically they recoat the current dash and then recolor the repairs to match factory coloring or if you replace the dash it would accomplish the same thing, replacing a dash is EXTREMELY expensive however here. Once these start to split they act similar to a crack in a windshield, the crack will continue to expand.

There's no such car named lexus 330. Besides, a picture of the crack would help better clarifying and understanding your 'lexus 330's' situation.

@ Lomomike are you sure Lexus RX 330 does not exist?

Common with All the Rx series. Cracked leather seat, cracked dashboard. Almost all I have seen have this issue.

There are various lexus models with the '330' designation. There's the RX330, ES330, IS330. So let OP be specific.

That statement is exaggerated. I've seen a lot of RX without cracked dash. Infact when I went to purchase my lexus, all the lexus I inspected didn't have any such cracks.

Judging from the picture, looks more like human induced factor (no offence pls) because the ones I've read online are line cracks on the dashboard towards the top side. However, you could choose two options here.

1* to import a whole dashboard fascia (mind you, they don't come cheap).

2* to go to PH, where a guy does camry dashboard re-surfacing. There's a thread on that, (I can't vouch for the proper working of airbags if such resurfacing occurs). This is the thread. www.nairaland.com/1943394/2008-camry-dashboard

Question for you bro: how did this occur, did you use chemicals such as dashboard cleaners, washing detergents, dashboard polishers, or do you always park in open spaces even in hot sunny weather?
