Cracked dash on my 2011 Yukon. When I paid almost $50,000 for a new vehicle I expect it to last longer than 70,000 miles before it starts breaking. My dash is cracking in the same place as the rest of the world. It is only a matter of time when my air bag is going to explode because of the dash and one of my children will be injured. Is that what it's going to take?

Dash severely cracking. Has not been involved in any accidents it just started on it's own and is gradually getting worse. I notice it more and more every time I get in my truck. I noticed it probably sometime last year. There is also a facebook group with so many other people this is happening too. I think GMC is using cheap defective materials! https://M.facebook.com/groups/251892298253/

Crack in dashboard running from drivers side all the way over to the passenger air bag. I feel like this would be a danger if the passenger air bag were to deploy. I also feel that this is a factory defect. I would appreciate very much if you could help with this problem.

Tamara recall: Was informed by both the dealership and GMC customer service that there is no remedy at this time and no time frame a repair will be available. I was informed not to have a passenger in the front passenger seat of my vehicle in case of a fronttill impact the airbag could cause death or serious bodily injury. So in summing it up. I can't have anyone in the front passenger seat. Really that's the best answer from takata, GMC, and the highway admin.

Dashboard is cracking over instrument cluster and at two corners of airbag. Appears to be a rampant issue on GM vehicle 2007 to 2013. No relief or help from GM, very concerned what might happen with cracked dash during airbag deployment.
