My GMC Sierra 1500 has numerous cracks across the upper dash that have appeared over the life of the vehicle. I attempted to have the dashboard replaced under warranty but was denied. I recently had the passenger airbag replaced due to a recall. The dealership refused to replace the dashboard, and when they replaced the original cracked dashboard, many of the cracked pieces did not line up, leaving the dash looking further damaged. Please force GMC to offer a recall of the substandard dashboard, or replace the dashboard during the replacement of the airbag.

The dashboard has cracked in several places, and I believe, it is going to effect the air bag system and dashboard wiring, which could lead to the passenger air bag not deploying or engine stalling at speed because of pieces of dash falling into the wires.
The contact owns a 2013 GMC Sierra 1500. The contact stated that the air bag indicator remained illuminated for at least two years. The vehicle was taken to vince webb Cadillac of pensacola (5651 pensacola blvd, pensacola, fl 32505, (850) 912-9372), but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified.

The dashboard has severe cracks in front of the driver above the instrument panel and also around the passenger airbag. These cracks are resulting from a poor design and not from any accident or misuse. This is a well known issue with this vintage of truck and has affected many owners. This is a safety concern because in the event of a accident that deploys the airbags, the manufacturers defective dashboard would shatter and yield projectiles within the cabin area. The dash requires full replacement and cannot be repaired.
I received a recall notice in July 2016, I inquired at the dealership about having the recall done. I was told that they do not have the parts during my first inquiry. On my 2nd inquiry, I was told that GM was awaiting court proceedings to be resolved regarding GM's responsibility and/or cost. Since then to date, my dashboard at the area of the passenger airbag has cracked and I still have not been able to resolve the matter.
