Crack in dash after passenger airbag recall done.

Just had the recall done on my '08 and 2 minutes after leaving I notice a crack in the dash an inch long radiating from the right vent. I'm almost positive it wasn't there before. Does that vent have to be removed during the replacement? Or anything else they did during replacement that could have caused the crack?
