We have 3 gm suburban and gmc yukons that all have cracked dashes. I find it hard to believe that all 3 of ours have cracked dashes. There has got to be a problem with the dash board and gm needs to step up and do something about this before some one gets hurts. The dash boards all cracked about 10 months ago .

Takata recall notice received july 2016 and it has not been remedied. I do not want to wait until myself or someone in my car is killed in an accident before someone does something about this. It is now january 2017, and a delay in repairing this issue is unacceptable. Either replace the air bag or replace the vehicle with an equivalent.

2008 yukon 5 cracks across the entire dashboard within 30 days, 3 cracks have formed in 72 hours. One crack appeared while I was at work, in the span of 3 hours. This truck has been regularly maintained and kept in a garage for majority of its life. The cracks are forming so fast that pieces will begin shattering and falling inside. Two cracks have formed next to the passenger side airbag, that has takata inflators- exciting times! My dealership has informed me that gmc will not compensate or assist in remedying this issue- but the dealer will be happy to replace the dash for $1300.00.
I received the recall notice in july 2016 and it is now october 23-2016 and there has been no information about what will be done to fix this recall. What is the normal time line for a safety recall and when will I get my vehicle repaired? Is it safe to drive and have passengers in it?
The dashboard is cracked on the passenger side possibly damaging the passenger side airbag. The vehicle was stationary. Came out one morning and it was cracked. Had a friend who had a brand new denali and it happened to his in less than 1 year from purchase.
Cracked dashboard in 2 places. Including a crack into the passenger side airbag. I'm very concerned due to having two 2 year olds in my car. The cracks began approximately 2 years ago. Our yukon has regular maintenence and garage kept. I am very concerned this will cause my airbags to potentially engage!

Dash has started cracking around passenger side air bag. If in an accident and the air bag is deployed I fear that myself and my passengers may be affected or harmed by the debris due to the compromised structure or the dash board. Currently in contact with gmc via twitter to seek resolution. Vehicle is stored in a covered parking garage not effected by sunlight.

Vehicle dashboard cracking around passenger side airbag. Concerned over the possibility of the fracture splintering if the airbag were to deploy and puncturing the airbag and/or sending pieces of hard plastic into the face of passenger and/or other occupants.
The top of the dashboard is cracked around the passenger side airbag. I am concerned about the possibility of loose dashboard pieces becoming projectiles upon airbag deployment.

My family's 2008 gmc yukon has a cracking dashboard cover. This problem started earlier around 100,000 miles but now there is one large crack and one smaller crack above the portion of the dashboard where the instrument cluster is located. I am concerned that eventually this whole portion of the dashboard cover may crack and fall into the dashboard which could possibly affect electrical components located within the dashboard. Also I have noticed some signs of a crack forming next to the passenger side airbag cover. At any point while driving the vehicle I can hear the dashboard cracking and popping loudly.
Gm recalled vehicles for air bag problems model years 08-13. My yukon is an 08 however, not recalled as well?? I'm not sure what gm is trying to pull. I thought they were turning a leaf here by recalling all vehicles with potential major safety issues. Apparently not.
The upper dashboard keeps developing cracks in the plastic around the passenger side airbag. I see this as a safety issue. If the airbags were to deploy, I don't know how much additional damage to the passenger due to broken pieces of plastic dashboard flying at the passenger.
