My passenger air bag was replaced under recall N202324210 by priority Chevrolet of chesapeake va. I was required by the dealership to sign acknowledging that the GM or the dealership would not take responsibility for dashboard cracking as part of the repair. My truck is low mileage and in great condition so I expected no problems. However, the dealership technician did crack my dashboard and predictably the dealership refused to take any action. I think it is unacceptable that the manufacturer and their authorized service departments should be allowed to damage customer vehicles during recall repairs. Also, while my cracks are fairly small, I have no idea what invisible damage might have occurred. How can I be confident that the recall repair did not create missile hazards? it is common to view the dashboard as merely decorative but I am now forced to consider what new hazards are presented by the dashboard, both from unsecured material in a crash and missile hazards in the area of the airbag, that were directly caused by a government ordered recall. I believe that NHTSA should order repair of all mounting equipment and dashboard components as part of this and future air bag recalls. Thank you.

Tthis vehicle was involved in 3 separate accidents, 1st another driver pulled out in front of the truck causing the accident; 2nd a driver fell asleep with his foot on the accelerator and rear ended me at about 90 mph; 3rd an out state driver rear ended my son's car which was forced into the rear of my truck. The 3 accidents were severe enough that there should have been some type of air bag deployment but there was not. I notified GM immediately after the 1st accident about the failure of the air bags to deploy. I should mentioned that the driver's seat belt broke due the harshness of the accident. All this happened several years ago but GM never answered me nor took any action to investigate the failure of the air bags to deploy. Today, 4 March, I received a recall notice because after all these years takata has admitted there is a problem with the bags, except they say it is only the passenger air bag. To tell you the truth I didn't even think I had air bags because they never worked. The id number for this recall is 21V051. I am hopeful that even though these accidents took place years ago, I don't have actual dates because I didn't they were important, that you, as the federal Agency responsible for overseeing the safety of cars using our highways, will inquire as to why GM failed to investigate a safety complaint submitted to their customer assistance center. Having some administration knowledge I am sure there has to be a file folder with my complaint in it. Thank you and please help me? * (recall related incident)
