I have a 2010 Chevrolet Avalanche ltz my dash is cracking around center mount speaker on both sides all the way to air bag compartment, this is not normal wear and tear, and could be a safety issue with air bag. There is no support around speaker is what is causing issue.
Tamara recall. I am one of several GM customers who is having problems with the dashboard cracking. I've been in contact with GM customer care and they acknowledged my issue and have offered to pay 30% of the $1,569.88 it would cost me to have my dashboard replaced. Since so many people are having this issue, I feel GM should issue a recall to repair customers dashboards at no charge.

Dashboard on passenger side right above airbag has cracked. Noticed it when getting into vehicle after finishing work around 4:15pm. It was parked in the shade since 7:45am on a cool fall sunny day. I'm worried in the event of an accident, the airbag could possibly deploy shrapnel from the broken dash and hurt someone. Searching online shows this is a common issue with the gmt900 platform trucks from 2007-2011 and GM is not doing much if anything about it.
The dash of my 2010 Avalanche is cracked near the passenger airbag. This crack appeared overnight while the vehicle was parked in my driveway.

Most importantly, the cracked piece around the airbag area could become a sharp projectile if the airbag is deployed.

My truck dash is cracked in two places. One crack is near the passenger side airbag and the other is on top of the instrument panel on the driver side. The one above the instrument cluster is very very bad it's about 6 inches long and completely caved in. My vehicle is out of warranty because it is 4 years old but it is only 2000 miles out of warranty by mileage. There are numerous reports of other people having the exact same problems in the exact same areas.
