Cracks started develop cracks on the dashboard on the passenger side over the airbag. Called my local dealer, where I purchased my car, universal Nissan and Hyundai they did not have an knowledge regarding cracks on the passenger side dashboard over the airbag. They suggested that I call Hyundai, I did. I got the same round a round, they gave me case # 5235732. I've seen on the internet many more people with the same problem. Their emails from mechanics and Hyundai personnel acknowledge the issue with the crack over the airbag and that did have their dashboards exchanged. If ever I have an accident and the passenger airbag does not deploy properly and someone is injured or dies some one will answer for it.

2007 Azera dashboard started cracking.

My 2007 Hyundai Azera has a crack on the dashboard. This concern was noticed around the 65,000 mile range. The crack appears to follow the line of the passenger side airbag and the car is typically parked in a garage, not subjected to elements, and has not endured any unusual stress to cause the crack. Additionally, the rear sunshade that comes standard with my car's model seems to have a faulty motor and no longer automatically goes down when in reverse, as it was designed to do, I trust for safe visibility. The sunshade feature began to fail around the 70,000 mile range and would at times stop at the partway up/down range, creating poor visibility due to the frame showing where it should not show in the rear window. I have a number of emails from Hyundai where they state that these items are not covered under warranty. They have failed to address my safety concerns. In particular, the airbag could deploy without cause or might deploy more forcefully than intended due to the crack. Hyundai refuses to correct these problems at no expense to me, has not addressed my safety concerns, and in taking this position, is failing to stand by the workmanship/quality of their product.

I noticed two cracks on top of the dashboard on the passenger side. I was told it was a defect in installation of the airbag. It was repaired by the dealer with no expense to me.

I have 2 cracks on my dash which appear to outline the passenger air bag. I noticed a ~ 1 inch crack several months ago but after reading a recent report on this website, I took another look. I now have 2 very straight crack lines measuring about 6 inches on either side of what appears to be the passenger air bag.
