Skywalker, I also agree with you and wooley. I really think some of the stuff that people get worked up about is a case of the "sky is falling".
Interesting pick up on the crumple zone. They would have to use a steel that's optimized for both forming and energy absorption, and not tensile strength. It is definitely a type of fatigue crack.
In any case it's not going to stop you driving but it would fail a road worthy inspection.
I'm really curious as to what loading is causing the fatigue crack because it doesn't look like there's any real load on the panel, provided that front rubber support near the battery is doing its job.
