DASH IS CRACKING AROUND AIRBAG. MINE CRACKED JUST SITTING. THIS SEAMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITHIN THE GM COMMUNITY. THESE DASHES ARE CRACKING AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BE INJURED SHOULD THE VEHICLE GET INTO AN IMPACT AND NOT ONLY THE AIRBAG DEPLOY BUT PLASTIC SHARDS PROJECT AHEAD OF THE AIRBAG.

PLASTIC DASH HAS CRACKED 1ST BY THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, THEN THE MIDDLE, AND NOW THE DRIVER SIDE. I HAVE GLUED THE DASH TRYING TO STOP THE RATTLING. I FIRST NOTICED IT ABOUT A YEAR AGO , NOT SURE IF IT HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. IT HAS REDUCED THE COSMETIC VALUE OF MY TRUCK, AND IF I GET IN A WRECK IT COULD POSSIBLY SEND SHARDS OF PLASTIC INTO EYES, AND OR BODY CAUSING BODILY HARM.

THE DASH ON MY TRUCK HAS A CRACK IN THE CORNER BY THE PASSENGER AIR BAG. ALSO IT IS CRACKED IN FRONT THE OF DRIVER. BOTH POSE RISKS TO THE OCCUPANTS AS IT COULD COME APART AND SHARDS FLY UPON IMPACT. PLUS THE CRACK IS RIGHT NEXT TO PASS AIR BAG AND THAT AIR BAG GOES UP AND INTO THE WINDSHIELD AND OUT. WITH THE CRACK BESIDE THE AIR BAG THERE IS NO GUARANTEE THE BAG WILL DEPLOY CORRECTLY WITH THE NO SUPPORT AROUND IT. I HAVE BEEN LOOKING AND NOTICED THOUSANDS OF THESE DASHES HAVE CRACKED WHICH IS CONCERNING. I HAD ACTUALLY TAKEN IT IN SEVERAL YEARS AGO (2012) AND THEY DENIED FIXING IT THEN BUT I HAVE REALIZED THE MAJOR ISSUE THAT IT HAS BECOME.

NOT THE ACTUAL AIR BAG, BUT THE PLASTIC DASH AROUND IT. KNOWN CRACKING IN THE DASH WILL CAUSE IT TO SHATTER DURING AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT CAUSING POSSIBLE INJURIES DUE TO PIECES BECOMING PROJECTILES. GM IS WELL AWARE OF THIS DEFECT IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE DASH.

GOT IN MY TRUCK TODAY TO FIND CRACKS IN THE DASH AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. CONCERNS ME THAT IF THE AIRBAG WERE TO DEPLOY IT WOULD SEND SHARP PIECES OF DASH FLYING INTO THE FACE OF THE PASSENGER. VEHICLE WAS NOT IN MOTION WHEN I FOUND THE CRACKS.
