Masonry in this application will typically crack when it deflects more than 0.3 in. at mid-span. This may indicate a problem with the steel lintel supporting this brickwork and/or the garage door header behind this area. Jensen Engineers is equipped to determine which of these items is deficient and design a repair procedure.
