Carrier/rack problems of the 2010 Chevrolet Camaro

I recently noticed a hairline crack on my dashboard and believed it was due to normal wear and tear. Requested a company to repair crack, but representative unable to repair crack due to location being above the airbag. Upon future investigation I have discovered that other Camaro owners have same hairline crack in the exact location on their dashboards. For the crack to occur in the same location on different vehicles leads me to believe there is a defect in the dashboard. The crack is getting progressively worse and I fear that the airbag will deploy unexpectedly due to the airbag compartment becoming compromised.

My 2010 chevy Camaro has only 14,361 miles on the odometer and is not subjected to weather over 99% of the time. A few months ago I noticed a very faint mark or scratch or crack in the passenger side dashboard over the airbag. It is becoming more pronounced and now a second crack is forming. I checked with my local dealer and they in turn checked with a gm rep. They are telling me they will replace it for about $1250 but I will have to pay $800 of the costs. Considering that I treat my car with the utmost care and adding to that the fact that the internet is filled with complaints about cracks over the passenger side airbag on 2010 Camaros, this issue should be investigated further for a possible recall.

Cracked dash above passenger airbag.

The dash is cracked around passenger airbag doors and I'm concerned with the operation of airbag if in a accident and the muffler is coming apart with only 27000 miles.
