Help With Crepe Myrtle

I have a crepe myrtle tree approximately 10′ tall, and I have noticed a couple straight line cracks at the base area running up the trunk. I suspect the beetles have laid larva in it because they’ve gotten other types of trees in my yard. I am afraid I will lose the tree. Does it sound like that could be the problem?
