Mine was inspected a couple of days later when I went back to the dealer to pick up some accessories and the tires were fine.

I know at the time they had no idea why some tires were cracking. They thought it might have been damage caused when the cars were stored on the dock in Vancouver, or that they'd been driven through some chemical that damaged the tires. It seemed to have been a problem limited to cars that were in storage before the official release on March 8th. Mine wasn't stored and had no problems.
Mine was a December build and was stored and they were OK.
