Silverado 1500

  • 40,000 miles
There are multiple cracks surrounding my passenger airbag in my 2012 Silverado. I believe these cracks are not only a manufacturer defect in design but are also a safety concern regarding the air bag deployment. Research has shown this is an issue that many others are having too with this model truck/SUV.
