1 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 02/15/2016

The dashboard cracked on the passenger side of vehicle near the top left corner of the passenger side air bag. Dealership would fix the issue but only at full cost to me, even though I expressed the concern I have how if the airbag were to deploy the sharp edges of the cracked area may not allow the air bag to work properly. I. E. Could puncture the airbag. Also shards of the dashboard could cause harm if airbag were to deploy.

2 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 12/16/2015

The truck had less than 50,000 miles when we noticed a crack in the dash running from the upper left corner of the air bag cover and the defroster vent. I know several other trucks with this same issue. It appears to be a design flaw. I went to the local dealer and he estimated it would take nearly $1,000 to fix. I wonder if this crack would be negatively influenced if the air bag ever inflates causing more damage or injury.

3 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 11/26/2015

Started hearing noise from dash on highway upon further inspection notice cracks on dashboard on passenger side around air bag.

4 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2015

My dash is cracking around the passenger airbag and above the instrument cluster. I am concerned that the cracked areas could come loose and become a projectile. The engine is also burning oil badly and could shut down while driving.

7 Carrier/rack problem

Failure Date: 08/31/2015

I have a 2011 Silverado 1500 and about 6 months ago my dash around the passenger air bag started to crack. I now have 2 cracks and the area feels loose which worries me that in case of a accident with airbag deployment on the passanger side, that this could impair the safety and design for its purpose.
