crack in break master cylinder reservoir

I bought a new 2010 Malibu LS last weekend. Today I opened the hood for the first time to take a picture of it.
As soon as I opened it I saw a crack in the break master cylinder reservoir! It looks like that someone cut it using a small knife or sth. Oddly enough, the break fluid is not leaking. I am going back to the dealer first thing tomorrow morning. But the question in my mind is: how come a new car with only a few miles on it has some crack inside the hood? I suppose every new vehicle must pass some inspection before sent off the line? Does anyone have some idea what might happened? Thanks.

If there is any leakage going on with your BRAKES, since that is a safety item, call GM Roadside and have the car towed to the dealership. If there isn't any leakage and you feel safe driving there then it's your choice whether or not to take the risk. Either way, get it in right away so you don't suffer any loss or injury.
Better safe than sorry!
