I have a 2004 Dodge 3500. The dash has two large cracks. One is above the airbag and I am concerned if the airbag comes out, will the dash come apart and hit the passenger.

2004 Dodge Ram was hit by a tour bus resulting in the truck hitting vehicle in front. None of the air bags deployed. The consumer was stopped in traffic when a tour bus rear ended the trailer he was towing. The tour bus hit the truck at about 60 mph which caused the trailer to collapse under the bus and caused the consumer's truck to run on top of the SUV stopped in front of him. The vehicle was pushed down the highway until it rolled over. The driver of the truck was killed as a result of the accident.
