Leather cracking?
During a few weeks of hot weather my leather interior is beginning to crack and I think it's going to get worse.

Anyone else have this issue? Had service centre look at it and they dismissed it as wear and tear but surely it should withstand standard use?

They initially claimed wear and tear and I stated that Australia Consumer Law requires that goods are of use for length of time for which it is reasonable. Leather should be expected to be of use for more than 3 years. They escalated and MB agreed to replace.
