Default Damaged head light covered under warranty?

I just noticed my headlight has a small spiderweb like crack in it. Last night I could see the condensation build up inside the headlight.

Is this something that would be potentially covered under warranty?

Where exactly is the spiderweb crack? I cannot make it out in your pics. And I suppose nothing hit it?

Never mind, now I see it...it should be covered.

Yes, many have been replaced under warranty. Both of mine were. Check your other light carefully too. This is a well documented known issue.

It's on the left side of the light. Closer to the bottom.

The PPF was even installed by the Porsche dealer when I bought the car second hand.

Similar issue with my car but Porsche NA rejected it. Dealer said CPO coverage for my car was not the same as the initial warranty and I didn’t have a history of buying my 911s from dealers. Go figure.

You should be fine.
