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.
DASH CRACKS AROUND PASSENGER AIR BAG AND CRACKS OVER INSTRUMENT PANEL.
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.
