The dash is cracked around the airbag. It seems if this vehicle is involved in a crash, this brittle dash could end up being sharp shrapnel that will cause a lot more bodily harm than good from the airbag.

Takata recall two years and still no resolution for what is considered to be a recall that can cause either serious injury or fatality. Enough time has passed. There needs to be a resolution of this matter. I'm considering parking the vehicle for my own safety, it will be hard to sell with the airbag recall. Even if I could sell it, I will take a loss on the vehicle because of the inability to get it fixed.
