Original owner of vehicle, never wrecked or in any type of accident, reporting the dashboard is visibly cracked on July of 2016 directly on top of the passenger airbag causing a safety issue that could cause premature deployment or possibly failed or no deployment when necessary.

Warning on message center of 2007 Acura Tl "air bag may not deploy in case of accident" . This is the 2nd time the car has been in the dealership for replacement/fix of this exact same issue. This incident occurred June 9th of this year, the previous time was approximately Jan 3rd 2008. Parts required to fix the problem according to service manager. I have to believe that there is a major problem with a sensor/ wiring or other part on 2007 Acura Tl models concerning this problem.
