Air bag marks on dashboard

I have a Ford Focus ST LINE 2020. As you know, there is an airbag for the passenger near the driver's seat. When the car was new there were no airbag markers on the dashboard. Ahona had the signs of an airbag (thin stripes). My questions are:
1. Did it appear for you too?
2. If it did not appear, should I go to the dealer and exercise the warranty (replace)?

    This is normal, I've seen it on a few different cars.  Not actually a fault, just where the suns heat allows the dash covering to settle into the groove around the airbag cover.  It is designed to be specifically weak so that the airbag blows out in the correct direction.

    The only fix would be to replace the entire dashboard.  I can't see Ford (or any manufacturer) doing that for a minor aesthetic difference.
