I have found cracks in the dash directly connected to the support braces for the passenger side air bag, in case of deployment the shards of broken plastic can impale into an individual causing injury or death
Takata recall this vehicle has repeatedly shown airbag requires servicing since I bought the vehicle brand new. The warning has been looked at repeatedly and I am told nothing is wrong. However the warning persists. I received a letter about a possible recall but that letter was misplaced while asking about the constant warning. The takata site says the 2007-2013 chevy silverado is being recalled for the explosive bag. I am very afraid of an airbag problem but this warning still persists. Do I have to have a deadly accident with the airbag to prove my point?

Takata recall.my problem is I get a warning on the dash. Says check airbag. Is that bad
Dealership does not have new air bags to replace due to takata has not come up with a resolution.
Got in my truck one morning and noticed two large cracks in my dashboard. Vehicle had been stationary and in the garage the night prior. One right above the instrument cluster on the driver side, running all the way to the windshield. The other is adjacent to the passenger airbag. I'm afraid that if the airbag deploys it could send plastic shards flying, which could potentially cause serious injury.
Upon wiping my dashboard with a dry cloth(never used any products to clean, or treat the dashboard area) and I do not park vechile in direct sunlight .... I noticed 4 to 5 cracks in the dashboard area of both drivers side and passengers side...most concerning... That 2 of the cracks are around the passanger air bag located on the passenger side dashboard...this is unacceptable as a consumer of gm and a chevy silverado who purchased a vechile thats priced above $45,000. I believe this should be taken very seriously considering the location of these cracks and should be a recall by gm considering the fact that many people are experiencing the same issues.....
2013 chevrolet 1500 silverado dash cracked above passenger air bag could cause flying sharp plastic pieces if deployed
While vehicle was in motion we heard a popping noise from front of cabin . Then saw two cracks in the dash. One at the passenger air bag and the other on driver side at the instrument cluster.
Dashboard is cracking all arround airbag, if airbag were to deploy it would spray plastic parts all over vehicle, it is a part defect and chevrolet knows this, they will do nothing to address this , there are many people on facebook showing 1000s of pictures , please help, this vehicle is not that old and the cracks started to appear at just 37,000 miles,also if you decide to fix the problem and pay for it yourself , they will not guarantee the new factory dash will not do it again, this just proves that they know it is made defective, hopefully something will be done about this before someone gets sprayed with flying defective parts arround the airbag
I was driving & heard a very loud noise but didn't know what it was till I was cleaning/vacuuming my vehicle the next day. I was cleaning the vehicle & the dashboard was very dirty so I was lightly cleaning it with a rag & the rag got stuck so when I checked what it was I noticed a very big crack. It also cracked by the airbag & I honestly feel like that is a hazard. It bothers me to think I'm paying over $40k for a vehicle that I chose to defend my family & might malfunction if I'm ever in an accident.
Dashboard has started cracking around my passenger airbag, leaving sharp edges that I feel may damage the airbag upon deployment.
