First recall, only dealer on island (hawaii) went out of business and couldn't be done by a gm dealer. Windshield washer fluid heater was removed by a mechanic shop at my own expense. Second recall, the passenger airbag inflator hasn't been done due to the fact that 2007 - 2014 chevy Avalanche, tahoe, suburban & GMC yukon are known for cracked dashboards which includes my Avalanche. My dashboard was cracked before the airbag recall and I covered the dashboard with fiberglass mat and resin to repair it as a new dashboard was not covered by warranty and exceeded over $2,000. 00 to replace. The area to access the airbag is sealed and would require a new dashboard. There is now a new chevy dealer here that can do the recall but I would have to pay the cost to replace the dashboard so it hasn't been done as I'm not able or willing to pay for the additional expense.
My dash is cracked and it reflects the crack on the windshields and causes glare. If the airbag was to deploy the sharp plastic would cut you from the broken dash. This is a dangerous situation. There are thousands of people with the problem and there are groups on facebook with thousands that have this issue. Gm will not repair or replace it.
With 64,000 miles the dash is cracking in multiple places. If reflects the broken area onto the windshield so it impedes vision and could affect the airbag as it is broken around the area. After researching online most owners have this dash cracking issue around the airbag and upper dash. If the airbag was to deploy it would most likely eject hard plastic parts at you with the airbag.
Takata recall nothing has been done to fix the problem.
