Any solutions??

No..If your bike is new, I would have a chat with the stealership!:p

Let me guess, you have transluscent pastics. Happens all the time. Warranty claim if you can.

That's right ... translucent plastics.

OK for warranty this time around, but what is going to keep them from cracking again (warranty won't last forever)?

The only thing that will keep the new ones from eventually cracking is to keep them in a box on a shelf.

Thanks HHB,

From your earlier reply, i assume the non-translucent plastics do not have this problem?

Is this right?

Yes, never heard of solid colors cracking.
