Anyone see this happen before?

I took my Yukon in for its 60k service here recently, and all of a sudden I'm now getting these cracks on my tail light lenses. There was a problem with the service job and the dealership has corrected all of the problems, however I'm concerned that since one of said problems was leaving the bleeder screw loose on the brake lines, I now have brake fluid all over the rear of the truck. Any one ever see this happen before, or know if this has been caused by the brake fluid being flung to the rear of the truck while going down the road? There are no pressure points from being bumped, no scratches or dings, and is on both sides. I know brake fluid is bad stuff, but this has really raised an eyebrow to say the least. Thank you to anyone who may have ideas or insight on this... and as they say, pics for clicks...

Looks like maybe the hard sun got to it? I've seen plastic crack like that due to sun. Brake fluid is nasty stuff that peels paint so if you have some on paint get it off before it destroys the paint

While normally I would agree on the sun, I live in the Pacific NW, and that is usually a rarity for us.... :crazy: just kidding, we have had beautiful weather here lately, but it hasn't been in the direct sun much. I'm taking it to the dealership in the morning to see what they have to say.
