My wife's dash all of a sudden cracked and has jagged pieces that could potentially become a projectile causing serious injury or death if an accident was to occur. I have been informed that this is a issue that is occurring in all the 2008-2014 models; and gm has yet to issue a recall.
The dash has cracked around the air bag deployment system, flopping around with indifference. Concerned it will impair the deployment of the bag in a collision. This car is covered and kept from the elements in san diego. Only has 77k miles.

My complaint is the dash on the the 2014 Yukon is cracking at the airbag and causing the dash to flap around in the middle near the speaker. For a 60k dollar vehicle, this seems like the mfg should replace due to quality. The dash could cause airbag puncture and possible fragments in an accident. I'm not feeling very…
The dash cracked in multiple locations. I have 1 long crack over the instrument cluster and 3 cracks on the passenger side on the airbag compartment. This is more than a cosmetic issue. I am particularly concerned that the cracks around the airbag pose great danger if the airbag was deployed in that it could send…

NHTSA defect investigations
Desiccated air bag inflator rupture
Summary
From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.NHTSA.gov/sites/NHTSA.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substa
