Weathered emblem on steering wheel

I just noticed what appears to be tiny cracks all throughout the steering wheel emblem. Does this appear normal:

How old is your car? Just checked mine and it looks fine. No cracks.

The car is 6 months old. I'll bring it to the service advisors attention next time it's in for service.

Does not look normal for a 6 month old car, probably a reject emblem ask your dealer to replace it.
