Side/window Air Bag problems of the 2010 GMC Yukon

Was driving down the road approached a corner hit a icy spot then dry spot spun me around and went into the ditch. Side air bags deployed. Did not hit any object or roll the vehicle. Also did not know anything about current recall on air bags for my vehicle.

The dashboard is cracking right into the passenger side airbag. It this deployed it would send shards of plastic flying into the cabin of the vehicle. I have small children that ride in this vehicle daily.

All the sudden the dashboard started cracking in two places. One is above the steering wheel and the other is by the passenger side airbag on the dash also. It was just in my garage. Not cracked one day and started cracking the next. There was no damage done to the car it just occurred by itself.

Recall for passenger side airbag issued may 27, 2016. Safety risk is higher after long term exposure to hot and humid regions. I live in st petersburg, FL. How much longer to I have to risk the lives of my passengers? when will gm fix this?.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2010 GMC Yukon. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 16v381000 (air bags); however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. Also, the dashboard had two cracks at the location of the front passenger side air bags. The failure was not remedied. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

The dash panels are cracking around the passenger side airbag and directly in front of the driver. The vehicle is 5 years old and has 86,000 miles and the cracks developed in the last month. Nothing has hit the dash to break it, it just cracked and the cracks are spreading. I am concerned about flying plastic shrapnel of the airbag were to deploy.

Our 2010 GMC Yukon recently developed a crack in the dashboard near the passenger side airbag. We are concerned for the safety of those passengers riding in the front passenger seat. If the airbags were to deploy, hard plastic dash material could injury passengers. This is a safety hazard that gm does not seem to want to address. We purchased this vehicle new, which has been garaged its entire service life.

The plastic dash board has cracked. It started out small coming from the passenger side airbag and stretching to the edge of that dash panel. Now a second part of the dash has cracked by the driver side over the instrument gauge cluster. The portion of the dash that's cracked by the passenger airbag is my biggest concern as it could break off and cause sharp pieces to hit the passenger in the face of the airbag was deployed. My GMC dealer stated my extended warranty doesn't cover this "cosmetic" issue and therefore I will have to come out of pocket for a portion of the cost. This is unacceptable. I'm the original owner and he vehicle is garaged. There could be no long term damage to the dash other than what it's intended to do which is to be under the windshield. GMC - own this issue and correct the problem please. I'm not likely to be a repeat customer of you can't produce a superior and reliable product -or- be responsible and correct an issue that is clearly a manufacturers defect.

A large crack appeared on the dash hump behind the steering wheel and grew larger leaving a hole exposing the steering column electrical wires. Another crack developed on the dash beside the upper left corner of the passenger side airbag. I am concerned with both electronics being exposed and jagged edges beside the airbag deployment area, the airbags may fail in a crash. I am also concerned that steering could eventually become impacted. I contacted gm customer service and they refused to provide assistance even though they know it is a common, well documented problem in their vehicles. Someone needs to hold them accountable for defects that can lead to safety issues. No impacts or collisions have led to this issue. It just simply appeared. It was stationary when discovered one morning. Although I am not certain the exact date, the problem was first noticed in January 2015.

Significant cracks in hard plastic dashboard have appeared including around the passenger side airbag. Some cracks have created shards of hard plastic that fall into the dash area & can not be recovered. I am concerned that the shards have the potential to harm the airbag and prevent the normal operation of the airbag in the event of a crash. Seems gm should be well aware of this issue & should replace these dashes that are breaking down due to faulty manufacturing materials.

The dash is cracked in numerous places. Including the area directly around the passenger side airbag. If the airbag was to deploy, the pieces of the dash would become shrapnel, and inpale anybody in its path! the cracking is caused by inadequate bracing under the dash! this is a known defect by GMC for at least 8 model years.
