Takata recall? 2004 Acura Tl dashboard started cracking 2 months ago and is getting worse. Now, it has cracks that show the outline of airbags on passenger and driver side of dash. This may cause issues with airbags deployment. I looked on line and found that this is a very common problem in the 2004 Acura Tl. This 2004 Acura Tl has approx 95000 miles, was purchased new and has been garaged since purchase. This vehicle has no airbag deployment or accident history. Airbag light sensor now comes on randomly . We are afraid the airbags will not deploy if in an accident or deploy at random. If this is not a safety issue I do not know what would constitute one and it seems Acura refuses to address or fix the problem.

Air bag light sensor is on and all the dash is cracked and we are afraid the air bag will not deploy in a accident or randomly will deploy without a accident.
The passenger side dashboard started with a hairline crack and gradually grew larger and cracks formed in many other areas on my dashboard. This ultimately affected my airbag causing the light to on my console to turn on when a passenger is seated. The passenger airbag indicator light on my driver console represents there is a problem with that airbag and will not deploy upon impact. This is extremely dangerous.
The dash has developed a crack around the passenger side airbag. I am concerned that should an accident occur the airbag may not deploy correctly.
Rear ended a vehicle going 50mph, driver airbag did not deploy. Passenger airbag deployed.
My 2004 Acura Tl started to have minor cracks on the dashboard last November and then it slowly spread all over the dashboard. I now have multiple long cracks on my dashboard. I have done some research online and there are many Acura Tl (2004 & 2005 model) owners who has encountered the same issue as well. I have other vehicles that are older than the Acura Tl and those vehicles dashboards are completely fine. I believe it is a defect in the material and Acura should be responsible for replacing this part. I do not feel safe driving my care in this manner due to the fact that it might impact the air bags or may not deploy the air bags in case of emergency. So, please help all of us Acura Tl owners with this issue. Thank you.
