2011 chevy Silverado 1500. The passenger side dash board is cracked. The truck only had 40000 miles on it when the dash cracked.

16 Dashboard Crack problem

Failure Date: 09/05/2016

This is the second dash board that has cracked by the air bag and above the instrument panel. The first was covered under the factory warranty and now its out of warranty. I worry that having a dash that is coming a part will blow apart if the air bag goes off after all the airbag cover is also the same plastic. . This is a safety issue and gm needs to take care of it. What will happen if you get into a accident and the dash come a part.

The dashboard has developed a crack at the corner of the airbag on the passenger side. Normally I wouldn't think this is a recall issue but I personally know of at least three other people who have experienced the same exact crack at the same exact location on their dashboard. I have done some research on the issue and it seems as though this is a widespread problem with the 2007-2011 silverado and tahoe vehicles from Chevrolet.
