Dash on my truck is cracked in multiple places, with one near the airbag. I'm concerned that if my airbag ever inflates, pieces of the dash will become projectiles due to how brittle it is. This could cause serious injury.

Cracks on the dashboard suddenly appear at the passenger air bag side and above the radio controls. I'm the original owner and always take care of my truck, this is just very poor quality and possible a safety issue since cracks are next to the air bag! Gm must replace this at no cost for the customers!

My dashboard is cracking in multiple places and i'm concerned about the crack around the airbag. If the airbag deploys i'm afraid of sharp flying dash parts killing someone. The dash is very unstable and will eventually fall apart.

The dash on these vehicles crack for no reason at all. I'm a bit worried that if an airbag was deployed that someone could be injured due to the sharp debris from the hard plastic these dashes are made of. There is numerous trucks from gm which these dashes are cracking in the same spots and gm is not recalling them which they should. It is going to end up being a liability and someone will get injured due to there…

Takata recall . I've notified my local dealership "woodland motors" 2 or 3 times about this. They keep saying that my vehicle isn't part of the recall, yet i've received a couple of notices saying the opposite, and also when i used the form that led to this site, it tells me that my vehicle is eligible. ... ... Aside from that, i've actually not experienced to my knowledge, faulty airbag functionality. Vin: [xxx]…

As others are worried, the dash boards of these trucks and suvs in the 07+ model years are prone to crack into pieces, especially around the passenger airbag. The dash can become projectiles upon airbag deployment and can cause injury to occupants of the vehicle. Although i'm not aware of this happening, i am concerned, along with many others, that this can pose a very dangerous safety hazard.
