Cracked rear hatch handle? Anyone?

So, I arrived at work today as usual, and as I was getting my bag out of the boot I noticed two vertical, parallel cracks in the rear hatch handle. Both cracks extend all the way through the painted portion as well as the underlying black plastic. Interestingly, both cracks are perfectly aligned with the center of each license plate light bulb, which makes me wonder if this is caused by heat over time. I'm 99% certain that the cracks weren't visible yesterday,
Has anyone else experienced this?
