"takata recall", I have a crack in my dash that is located right next to passenger side airbag. This is a safety hazard because my dash will continue to crack that will cause my passenger side airbag to fail when it will be needed to protect passengers that ride in my vehicle. I have done a lot of research on this topic and general motors knows that this is happening and they won't do nothing to fix it. My vehicle was stationary in my driveway when I heard a loud pop noise which I notice that my dash had cracked.

Dash is cracked around the air bag area concerned this might affect the air bag deployment. Even though gm states it will not affect it, the crack is in a corner of the deployment zone. The dash is also cracked in a area above the gauges. Everyone I know that has this make and model has the same problem. A person I know has about 20,000 miles on the vehicle and is already cracked as well.
There's cracks surrounding my passenger airbag in my 2012 silverado. These cracks are not only a manufacturer defect in design but are also a safety concern regarding the air bag deployment. Research has shown this is an issue that many others are having too with this model truck/SUV.
The dash is cracked by the air bag housing the door handles are discolored and the exhaust system is also discolored.
Cracks in the dash at the airbag may become projectiles.
