A vertical opening you can slide a coin or a finger into. Two stems separated at a V-shaped union with a gap that has visibly widened.

The stem has already partially failed. Whatever wood is still intact is now carrying the entire load the whole trunk used to share. This is different from a wound the tree can seal around: a shear crack propagates, lengthening a little with every wind cycle, so the trend is one-directional.
This is normally a hazardous tree removal job, which around here runs $800 to $5,000 depending on size and access. Treat that as a range, not a quote — nobody can price it without seeing it.
