Takata recall. my dash is cracked next to the air bag. if this air bag goes off before it is recalled plastic parts from dash might harm the driver and or passenger. i think gm needs to recall the cracked dash complaints that people are posting on line. i had this dash replaced once before under warranty.

My dashboard has several cracks exposing the electrical components within the dash. these cracks are in various places across the entire dash. i purchased this vehicle brand new and it is currently in excellent condition (with the exception of the dash) i am concerned that if the air bag were to be deployed the plastic dashboard would explode and expose my passengers or myself to additional hazards within the vehicle. i am also concerned that the electrical system in my dash board is now exposed to additional hazards due to the additional exposure to the sun. i am filing this incident with the hopes that it will help a recall to be issued. i noticed the first small crack in 2011. i have kept an eye on it over the years and as of today, there are exposed openings in the dash in several places. until today, i thought that i might have just been unlucky, however after doing some research online, it is apparent that i am not alone, and this should be recalled under a manufacturers defect. thank you for taking the time to file this report on my behalf. feel free to email me with additional information as needed. best regards. *tr

My dash cracked 5 years ago, i replaced with new from dealer $1000.00 cost and it is now cracked again. in addition i have an outstanding recall on airbags that have been recalled but gm does not have parts to replace. so now i could have shrapnel from airbag and shrapnel from my new $1000.00 dash. wow gm, get it together and get the airbags in stock and stop using inferior materials on $1000.00 dash boards.

The upper dash panel cracked after being parked outside. i thought someone broke in and hit it with something, it is cracked down center of instrument panel toward windshield then across to air bag compartment. my fear is that if the air bag that is pending recall information passenger air bag deploys and passengers could be hit by plastic shrapnel. another concern is a child gets hand or arm injured by simply pressing too hard on flimsy dashboard. i am a 100% service connected combat veteran and need to sell truck to purchase a van for transportation. the cracked dash is hindering the sale at a decent price. the dealer said repair is around $1200 and i don't have that kind of money laying around anyway if i am unable to sell it.

Recall notice 49151 per gmc july 2016 correspondence, no action has been taken by local dealership (lehmer's gmc concord, ca.) to resolve the "takata" airbag defect.

Takata recall/received important safety recall in july 2016 and have not received notice that parts are available make repairs.

Takata recall: in july 2016 i received a letter from gmc ref. gm recall 49152 which stated that i would be notified when parts are available to remedy your vehicle. i never received anything and in the meantime the airbag light came on. in the summer of this year i called the local dealership and they set up an appointment to replace the airbag because of the recall. i had to cancel that appointment because i could not make it to the appointment. i later called the dealership to setup another appointment and this time was told that gmc was not going to fix/replace the airbag. i already spent over $1200 to replace the front brake components because of extensive rust which damaged the front brake system to the extent the wheels would no longer rotate without great effort. this truck was originally owned by someone in pa, then on the eastern shore of maryland thru may 2016. there is a lot of rust on the undercarriage of this vehicle - from i assume, salt and water.
