Dealer {kuni) chevrolet general and service managers have not returned my phone calls
Regarding the takata recall, I received recall notice 49151 from gm on 7/2016 for my chevy truck. It said "you will be notified when parts are available..." that was well over a year ago! I spoke with gm customer service today on 10/14/2017 about this and all the young man said was that there is nothing to worry about. Evidently gm and takata are in some kind of disagreement over the airbag issue while my family driving around in a vehicle with defective airbags. Also, the dashboard by the passenger airbag compartment cracked about 6 months ago and this really concerns me. Please help!

There is a crack in the dash at the site of the passenger airbag. After further research, it appears that it is very common. I am afraid this area of the dash will fail upon airbag deployment causing injury. I do not know when the crack started.

I bought my 2011 silverado with only 36,000 miles on it, before it ever reached 40,000 the dash cracked in the corner of the passenger airbag, and now above the odometer. I'm concerned for the safety of myself and my family if the airbag was to go off and send shards of sharp plastic though the vehicle. I would appreciate gm recalling and fixing the issue that they are already aware of.

Takata recall the dash is cracked in two locations, at passenger airbag and above the instrument cluster for no apparent reason. Vehicle is in excellent condition otherwise. There may be a safety issue due to the proximity to the passenger airbag.
Takata recall. For the past year plus, the dealer (paradise/cadillac) in temecula ca. Has refused to repair the airbag and inflator on recall. My vehicle has been given high priority because of its age and high temperature where I live. I stop driving it because of fear for myself and family. It only has 24,500 miles in it.

"takata recall" airbag light takes over instrument information cluster.theres no information on when to be repaired or when the airbag will be replaced.2) dashboard cracked and growing near passenger airbag .I never used armor all etc...concerned about the wiring underneath.truck currently has 80000 miles .normal use
There is a crack on the dash that runs along the compartment housing the passenger side air bag. This crack could potentially tear the airbag upon deployment making it useless in the event of a crash. The dealership informed me this was a common occurrence and it could be replaced but that the replacement may crack due to body shifting during operation and sun exposure. Now the dash is beginning to crack in other places (stress fractures). Not sure when these cracks started whether the vehicle was in motion or stationary.

Dash board is cracked around airbag. Airbag deployment would mean huge shards of plastic flying around cab. Potentially penetrating skin and eyes. Huge pieces. This is not safe.
Dashboard cracking and breaking around airbag. Possible plastic shrapnel in event of airbag deployment. In my time of ownership exposure to elements has always been limited with use of covered parking or sunshade. Chemicals have never been introduced to the affected area.
Tl* the contact owned a 2011 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle rear-ended another vehicle. The air bags did not deploy. A police report was filed. There were no injuries sustained. The vehicle was towed to a collision center. The vehicle was destroyed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 185,000.
Took it to walker jones in waycross ga cause the light to the airbags was staying on. They hooked it to computer and said it was thermostate was the problem. Replaced it and the air bag light is still coming on. Only thing they want to do it fix everything else but the airbag.
A crack appeared in the dash causing a separation in the section behind the airbag I am concerned the pieces could cause injury if airbag is deployed.
