Very upsetting that gm had to have known takata air bags are installed and we were never informed. I would have never known my vehicle wasn't safe, if I wasn't on this site researching safe car for my teen to drive. I would like to know exactly when our life's are important enough to have recall letters sent? Should we all go out and purchase face shield helmets for the family while we wait?????? I also read complaints regarding cracking in dash panel. I too have hairline cracking driver's side where airbag is installed. Please send recall letters as I called my local dealer and was told nothing can be done till I receive the actual letter. This new bulletin was posted months ago. It's now august 2016.

Dashboard crack next to airbag and over instrument panel. I am concerned that in a wreck where the airbag deploys the dash will become a deadly projectile. I was sitting still when the cracks ocurred.

Cracking plastic dash on upper left corner of passenger side air bag. Seems thousands of other people have same issue.
I own a 2011 check silverado I clean my truck regularly an take good care of it I have less then 50,000 miles on it. I found a crack in my dash running from the corner of my passage airbag. I feel that it's a big safety hazard considering if someone crashes into me and the airbag deploys jagged chunks of dash could possibly impale myself or my pregnant wife. I did some research an seen that thousands of chevy models are having the same issue because of manufactorer negligence an I feel that this is enough of a safety hazard to where something needs to be done about this.
Dash cracked from passenger air bag cover to windshield vent. One day there was no crack then I noticed the crack. Nothing was dropped onto or banged against air bag cover.
My 2011 silverado dash is cracking in several place and im only the second owner of the truck. I feel sharp piece of plastic could become hazarders during a crash.
Dash is cracking by the passenger airbag cover and I wory that it may become shrapnel if the airbag deploys.
The dashboard has cracked at the top left of the passenger side airbag. This was noticed the other day while driving. Vehicle is very well cared for.

2011 chevy silverado lt with a cracked dash on the drivers side and by the airbag. Always have a sun screen over dash during the day and in the garage when at home.
Dashboard around passenger airbag is splitting as many other are. In the event of an accident that would cause stress on the dash from abrupt airbag inflation, plastic could become shrapnel and cause serious injury or death.
Myself as well as many others dash's are cracking randomly in our chevrolet silverado pickups. Mine is cracked just to the upper left of the passenger airbag. I have reached out to gm and they have acknowledged an issue have offered to pay $590 towards the repair. I am not satisfied with that and there are several other thousand people that have the same issue with the same results or worse. I would really like to see gm be held accountable for this as I believe this is an safety concern with the passenger airbag deploying in an emergency. There is a facebook page with several thousand members dedicated to this matter it is named "07-13 gm cracked dash safety hazard for all trucks"
