UNKNOWN - The dashboard plastic is cracking and pieces have broken off. While it may be deemed to be a cosmetic issue, the front passenger side airbag sits underneath the dashboard where the cracking has occurred. The concern here is that when the airbag deploys, the dashboard will fragment, ejecting plastic shrapnel towards the vehicle occupants, exacerbating any potential injuries.

My vehicle was in motion and failed to properly break which therefore ended hitting an older model BMW at approx 45mph. The airbags inflated sending some type of metal shards to my right lower abdomen that resulted in massive bleeding.
