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.
Crack on dash at the airbag, it just cracked for no reason. Its right at the airbag, afraid that if airbag goes off the broke piece will fly out and hit someone. Or the airbag will get a hole in it. It was stationary.
The dash is cracking near the instrument cluster and near the air bag. I use a sunscreen, but this seems to be a common issue. This is too expensive and well taken care of a vehicle. I worries me that there may be some safety issues with a cracked plastic dash in case of accident.

Takata recall. For the past year plus, the dealer (paradise/Cadillac) in temecula ca. Has refused to repair the airbag and inflator on recall.

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.

I own a 2011 Silverado. It has the cracks in the passenger airbag area, and above the gauge cluster. Of course after seeing all the other cracked dashes. It really makes me unhappy that this is not already a recall or taken care of. One day I got in my vehicle and saw both cracks, and it happened 2 days after someone told me it is just a matter of time before it cracks. I really would like it replaced.
