Dashboard is cracking leading to risk of flying plastic shards in the event of a crash where the airbags are deployed. This is a design defect on Chevy trucks of this model year and similar design model years.

Takata recall this vehicle has repeatedly shown airbag requires servicing since I bought the vehicle brand new. The warning has been looked at repeatedly and I am told nothing is wrong. However the warning persists. I received a letter about a possible recall but that letter was misplaced while asking about the constant warning. The takata site says the 2007-2013 Chevy Silverado is being recalled for the explosive bag. I am very afraid of an airbag problem but this warning still persists. Do I have to have a deadly accident with the airbag to prove my point?

  • 44,000 miles
Got in my truck one morning and noticed two large cracks in my dashboard. Vehicle had been stationary and in the garage the night prior. One right above the instrument cluster on the driver side, running all the way to the windshield. The other is adjacent to the passenger airbag. I'm afraid that if the airbag deploys it could send plastic shards flying, which could potentially cause serious injury.

Upon wiping my dashboard with a dry cloth(never used any products to clean, or treat the dashboard area) and I do not park vechile in direct sunlight.... I noticed 4 to 5 cracks in the dashboard area of both drivers side and passengers side...most concerning... that 2 of the cracks are around the passanger air bag located on the passenger side dashboard...this is unacceptable as a consumer of GM and a Chevy Silverado who purchased a vechile thats priced above $45,000. I believe this should be taken very seriously considering the location of these cracks and should be a recall by GM considering the fact that many people are experiencing the same issues.....
