If the house is less than 10 years old, I would have an inspector (Frank D'Angelo is great) take a look to see if there is a reason for this and if there is any damage due to water intrusion. I believe most houses have a 10-year structural warranty.

As for the cracks, Sherwin Williams as well as ACE, Home Depot, and Lowes all have elastomeric crack sealers that are very easy to apply. The reason I mentioned Sherwin Williams first is you will also need touch up paint and they can typically lookup the original color of the house.
