    Dashboard has cracked and broken in 2 separate places. Top left of the passenger airbag and top left of the instrument cluster with a piece broken out. This is a safety hazard with plastic pieces that can become projectiles or cut the airbag in the event of a crash. This is a common problem on many models and will get worse as the plastic has become brittle. Vehicle is a 2011 year with 82000 miles.

    My dash has cracked significantly in three different places at different times. It is unknown to me what caused the first two cracks, but the most recent occurred while i was driving down the road. This not only affects the value of the vehicle, but also worries me that in the event of an accident, it may affect the airbags or even project pieces of the dash towards anyone in the vehicle.

    The dash on my 2011 chevy silverado lt has numerous cracks both on the visible parts, but more importantly around the bolts and screws that fasten it in place. My concern is that it is no longer structurally sound and that it could fail causing injury. This dash houses the passenger side air back and it has two cracks that touch the air bag. It is my concern that this is a safety issue. The dash is virtually cracked…

    I bought my 2011 silverado with only 36,000 miles on it, before it ever reached 40,000 the dash cracked in the corner of the passenger airbag, and now above the odometer. I'm concerned for the safety of myself and my family if the airbag was to go off and send shards of sharp plastic though the vehicle. I would appreciate gm recalling and fixing the issue that they are already aware of.

    Takata recall the dash is cracked in two locations, at passenger airbag and above the instrument cluster for no apparent reason. Vehicle is in excellent condition otherwise. There may be a safety issue due to the proximity to the passenger airbag.

    The dash in my 2011 chevrolet silverado 1500 has a crack in the dash at the top left hand corner of the passenger air bag. My opinion is that this could cause a safety issue. Either the air bag could fail to work properly or potentially be damaged. Chevrolet has known about this issue and has chosen not to voluntarily take care of it.

    Dashboard cracking and breaking around airbag. Possible plastic shrapnel in event of airbag deployment. In my time of ownership exposure to elements has always been limited with use of covered parking or sunshade. Chemicals have never been introduced to the affected area.
