Popping cracking sounds every couple minutes?

Anybody else notice a very slight cracking popping noise of plastic every couple minutes. It is a popping sound as if plastic is expanding or like craki
when going mostly in corners or when the car moves more i guess.

I think it is the tachometer. Because when i thoucb it i hear a lot of cracking sound.

What stuff can i use to make plastic stop making cracking noise? Could it be silicone?

The dealership uses 61136902588 Fabric-Tape for squeak prevention. I think my car has more tape in it than metal at this point.

Good. Glad you took it in. You should not be fixing issues like this on a brand new vehicle. That's what warranty is for.
