Dashboard cracking o r fading is more prevalent in older Prius models 2010–2015 due to:

Sun Exposure: The dashboard materials may degrade over time due to prolonged exposure to the sun, leading to cracks and fading.
Material Aging: The plastics and vinyls used in the dashboard may lose their flexibility and strength, especially in hotter climates.

Preventive Measures:

Use UV protectant sprays o r dashboard covers to shield the interior from UV rays.
Park in shaded areas o r use sunshades to reduce direct sunlight exposure.
