The dash is cracked at the passenger side air bag. If the airbag has to inflate I am afraid it will send pieces of dash into the passengers face.

This recall came out in May 2016. Now Ford / Mazda has issued a do not drive until repaired with repairs available. But still no remedy from GM for this? they have built how many more model year trucks and how many trucks since 2011. I live in Texas and the temperatures here reach 100* in the summers. There is no reason for a repair not to be available for this after this length of time. How many people have to possibly be killed before this is resolved. There needs to be a class action lawsuit for this. GM is not taking care of their consumers. I have complained about this before and no response other than no remedy yet. Not acceptable. If an airbag can explode and kill someone than it needs to be repaired now.

Takata recall - my truck's airbags were recalled 05/27/2016 and I have tried to have selman Chevrolet, who sold me the truck, check and replace the airbags but they keep giving me a run around and they claim they do not have bags for replacement. Takata has found that the propellant degrades and the bags may rupture, causing serious or fatal injury. However, I am expected to continue driving my truck and risk death or injury! selman Chevrolet in orange, ca does not care and in effect - refuses to do the safety recall!.

Takata recall lack of information is astounding, web site and phone number are a loop, refer to each other and offer no specifics. Dealer says 'parts not available' found info GM was conducting 'study' but no info of NHTSA actions re this study. I'm in atlanta and a K2500hd don't fit in a garage! can't get much more heat and humidity exposure than here!

Takata recall, recall is almost a year old and no solution yet, no one else makes airbags? now the senate is proposing a bill to force repairs or not be able to register the vehicle. Too much regulation already that doesn't work.

The dash has began to crack around the passenger side airbag. I am affraid if an accident was to happen and that airbag had to deploy it would send broken plastic in my family or myself face or could tare the airbag. I realize this is a well known and documented problem and there has been countless people who have been dealing with the same problem and feel this should no doubt be a recalled issue.
