Noticed a crack developed in the dash, at the passenger airbag seam, shortly after the bumper to bumper warranty ended. Still had roughly a year left on the powertrain warranty when the issue occurred. The dealer stated that there was no recall or anything they could do, but also stated that they had seen many trucks with this same issue. 3 years old and the dash has already cracking??? Concerned there may be an issue, if the airbag ever has to deploy. Would have reported it sooner, if I knew about this sight.

Cracked dash left top corner of passenger air bag area. Same as everyone else on here. Replaced drivers side seat motor at$132. Replaced drivers side rear window regulator at $165 with labor at $60. Replaced both door handles at $89 with labor at $60. Had to rent a car for 4 days in the amount of $285. This all happened in nov. And dec. Of 2015. None of which is covered by my extended warranty purchased from dealer. Also the paint is bubbling around the rear cargo light. Also not covered under my "paint warranty". At the time of all this happening we had less than 65,000 miles on the vehicle.
The dash on my truck began cracking at around 36,000 miles and I was told that there was nothing that could be done as my truck was outside of the warranty coverage. Since then I have had many additional cracks and have heard that the cracked dash ends up breaking apart and becoming shrapnel in the vehicle in the event of an airbag deployment. This is a common issue on these vehicles and I think gm should offer recall and initiate a free or reduced cost replacement of these dash panels to prevent injuries.
Crack on dash board nxt to airbag contacted gmc but they have not taken care of the matter im concern if airbag deploys shrapnel will fly into my young child face I need this taken care very important matter thanks.
Passenger air bag light went on indicating that the air bag was not functional. Took the vehicle to an independent repair shop and they could not diagnose the problem. Then took it to a gmc dealer and they determined that it was due to loss of power to the air bag module attributed to corrosion within the under-hood fuse block.
Around 37,000 miles a crack appeared on the passenger side dash, around the passenger airbag. There are now 3 cracks around the airbag and these cracks could potentially result in a tear in the airbag during deployment, rendering the airbag ineffective in preventing injury during an accident. From online searches, it appears this might have been a design issue on the 2010 model that was fixed starting with the 2011 trucks. The dealer informed me that there is no recall. I feel that due to the possible safety issue associated with this, the dashes for this model year of sierra should be fixed by gm.
There are cracks on drivers side dash & around air bag on passenger side.
