Expert Response
Yes, you should be concerned. It looks from the photo that the interior of your maple is rotting. I would have a certified arborist come out and evaluate the tree. A tree the size of this one would do a lot of damage should it come down. You can find an arborist at http://www.treesaregood.com/Home.aspx and click on Find An Arborist.
