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.

It's probably vandals.:( Just how far down does the crack go?
I can't say I've ever seen or heard of a crack like that. On the coolant, I just check it against the FULL mark when cold with the car level.
