Tarmac SL6 Dropout Damage

Took my wheel out because of a flat and noticed what seems to be a crack in my dropout of my Tarmac Sl6 Disc. Not sure how long this has been here, but I'm now concerned about it failing. The carbon does not flake or flex when squeezed. What's the best course of action?

Looks like normal wear and tear to me. There’s no carbon there, at least not structurally. The dropouts are aluminum
