Carrier/rack problems of the 2007 GMC Sierra 2500

The dash around the airbag is cracked and I'm concerned about shrapnel if the airbag were to deploy.

August 19, 2016 truck was in an accident when the vehicle went out of control. . A bracket on the left front of the truck broke and there appeared to be a crack on it. We believe the accident was caused by the bracket braking and then made it so that we could not control the vehicle.

Dash is cracking around passenger airbag and above instrument cluster. The safety concern is that during a wreck what will the cracked dash do when airbags are deployed. A recall should be required due to defects in dash manufacturing.

The dash of my 2007 GMC 2500hd pickup truck has cracked in several places including around the passenger side airbag, up and over the instrument cluster hump, and in the middle of the dash. These cracks have expanded over the past year and have become quite large. I am concerned that the cracks at the airbag cover may impede the proper function of the airbag system as well. This seems to be an ongoing problem with many GMC truck owners with model years 2007 - 2011 and my truck displays cracking very similar to others posted to websites on the internet.

My truck has a defective dash that has cracked in multiple places for no reason and no rough treatment or anythig that would cause it to break, it cracked and broke all on its own. . . And GMC should be responsible for replacing because it is a safety hazard. This is a defect happening to thousands of these trucks and all the cracks and breaks and in the same exact spots which would seem to be a manufacturer defect not a consumer issue. . . If I were to get into an accident the defective broken dash could seriously injure someone. My truck is also part of the takata recall and I can not go in to get the air bag fixed because it will further break my dash. This dash issue is a major safety issue that needs to be addressed and a recall needs to be made for this issue.
