The best answer I was able to track down was the use of "non-virgin", ie recycled, materials in the mix percentage combined with a too low casting temp to compensate.
I believe this to be true also. My dash has been absolutely perfect until I pulled it for the EVAP change. I think alot of the issue is the expansion and contraction of the plastic itself. It was about 85-90 when I did the repair and things were fine till winter and the plastic shrank an wallah cracks.
