Dashboard cracking around airbag on passenger side and instrument panel on driver side. The thin brittle plastic may be a hazzard with an airbag deployment.
I have a truck with less then 44000 miles and has developed a crack in the dash right above the passenger airbag. My concern will be what going to happen when my truck is involved in a wreck and the passenger air bag deploys. Pretty sad that all the money the federal government gave GM they couldn't build a vehicle that lasts.
Interior upper dash cracked at 11,000. Always garaged. Known issue with '07-'13 GM trucks. Potential damage to passenger air bag upon inflation. Due to sharp corners on crack the airbag could be damaged or become inoperative due to a puncture upon inflation.
