Crack in foot rest support on 2015 ST-L - importance of replacing?

[Columbia]

An update

Two body panels to go back on and the Brand New Fresh From BRP in Quebec footrest holder replacement piece will be in.

Had plenty of troubles, of course. Factory manuals aren't written by people who use a factory manual!

Raised a problem along the way here on the forum and received both ideas and encouragement.

Thanks to all who took the time to respond. Job is essentially finished and all's well.
