My sierra has the same problem that many other gm vehicles have. The dash is cracking, creating loose pieces. It is cracked at the airbag. This sharp edges could impair the proper function of the airbag. In the event of an accident, I am afraid the loose dash pieces could post a danger to the vehicles occupants.
Takata inflators- pulled truck into garage and put into park. Drivers side airbag blew out then a few seconds later passenger airbag blew out. Had been driving prior to this with no issues or warning.
