1 Side/window Air Bag problem

Failure Date: 12/01/2009

Have an 2003 Toyota 4 runner, that has always been parked in my garage. It only has 40,000 miles on it & is mint condition except for one major problem, the dash. Although it does not sit outside in the sun, only in my garage, there are cracks all along the dash. Most predominantly there a diagonal crack across the passenger side airbag, as well as along all the edges of where the dash meets a curve� (I. E. Right above the speedometer) it is extremely unfortunate that this seems to be a major problem across the dashboard with other 4runner's and sienna's, and it is also very unfortunate that due to airbag restrictions, I can't even pay someone to fix it. My concern is the diagonal crack across the passenger front airbag.
