The dashboard has cracked in two places. Next to the airbag and above the steering wheel. I am concerned that this creates a safety hazard in the event of a collision where the dashboard will separate and create flying projectiles. I am also concerned that if the airbag deploys, the dashboard will break apart and create flying projectiles. I noticed the cracks on 4/16/2017.

The dashboard has developed cracks that will become flying shards of hard plastic if the airbag deploys.
- Tallahassee, FL, USA
The dash board in the vehicle has 2 cracks in it. Could be a safety hazard involving the airbags. One crack is located at the curve of the instrument panel on the gear selector side and the other is located on the passenger side. I recently purchased the vehicle and the cracks were already there. I know that this is a popular problem and I believe that GM has profited greatly from the sales of these vehicles and should take responsibility for the integrity of their product.

Dashboard has major cracks and it feels like one day, some piece will break off and hurt someone while driving and it cause major crash. It started with a small crack and it is though end to end now.
- Edison, NJ, USA
The dashboard is cracked and looks very unappealing. There is also a safety concern, if the air bags were ever to deploy I fear that the cracked plastic would disintegrate and cause serious injury.

- Fleetwood, PA, USA
The contact owns a 2010 Chevrolet Tahoe. The contact stated that the dashboard was cracked above the air bag area. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired.

VIN tool confirms parts not available.
- Tampa, FL, USA
The dashboard cracked starting with the left corner of the passenger side airbag and continues across the dash all the way to the drivers side steering column. A small piece near the passenger side airbag fell into the dash and we are concerned that it could become a projectile if the airbag were to deploy. The crack appeared suddenly and has worsened over time. Parking/storing conditions of the vehicle have varied over time and no specific incident that we are aware of caused the crack.

- Carson, CA, USA
Garage kept Tahoe has cracked dashboard above instrument panel and passenger side airbag. If car was in an accident, shards of sharp plastic could injure passengers. This is a common issue in GM vehicles. GM should have a recall to replace the dashboard.
- Pittsburgh, PA, USA
The dashboard of my 2010 Tahoe cracked around 55K miles in 2015 while driving. It seems like this defect is due to the amount of vibration/usage of vehicle, since most notice damage after 50K miles regardless of how long they've owned it or its exposure to the sun.
- Baton Rouge, LA, USA
Tahoe dash is cracking on the corner of the passenger airbag. A very dangerous spot for a jagged edge to be next to an airbag.
- Nrh, TX, USA

- Clinton, CT, USA
Takata recall I just notice a crack on the left top side of my dashboard a day after I brought my vehicle to get service at bical Chevrolet dealer. I return to get answers and the dealer told me it's a known issue for these type of vehicle and they will not pay for the repair. I call Chevrolet GM (case # 8-2129107909) and they told me this was the first time hearing about this issue and will no pay for the repair. Personally I think this is wrong and there should be a recall or some type of repair for vehicles that are currently crack in the same places on the dashboard especially long side passenger airbag. I would like something be done about my dashboard where I don't have to pay for it.
