GM sent me a recall notice March 2021 that my air bag is defective and they plan to replace it. That notice was in March 2021 and they still have not repaired it stating that parts are not available yet. I feel the air bag is a time bomb waiting to explode and I should not be subject to this danger.

DASHBOARD IN THE TRUCK HAS TWO STRESS CRACKS ONE BY THE AIR BAG AND ANOTHER ONE ABOVE THE SPEEDOMETER. THAT DASHBOARD IS VERY POOR QUALITY AND SHOULD BE RECALLED BY GENERAL MOTORS.
DASHBOARD CRACKING AND SHATTERING WHICH COULD IN TURN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT OR DAMAGE TO THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIRBAG. TERRIBLE CRAFTSMANSHIP.
