REGARDING THE TAKATA RECALL, I RECEIVED RECALL NOTICE 49151 FROM GM ON 7/2016 FOR MY CHEVY TRUCK. IT SAID "YOU WILL BE NOTIFIED WHEN PARTS ARE AVAILABLE..." THAT WAS WELL OVER A YEAR AGO! I SPOKE WITH GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TODAY ON 10/14/2017 ABOUT THIS AND ALL THE YOUNG MAN SAID WAS THAT THERE IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. EVIDENTLY GM AND TAKATA ARE IN SOME KIND OF DISAGREEMENT OVER THE AIRBAG ISSUE WHILE MY FAMILY DRIVING AROUND IN A VEHICLE WITH DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS. ALSO, THE DASHBOARD BY THE PASSENGER AIRBAG COMPARTMENT CRACKED ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO AND THIS REALLY CONCERNS ME. PLEASE HELP!

I BOUGHT MY 2011 SILVERADO WITH ONLY 36,000 MILES ON IT, BEFORE IT EVER REACHED 40,000 THE DASH CRACKED IN THE CORNER OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG, AND NOW ABOVE THE ODOMETER.

THERE IS A CRACK ON THE DASH THAT RUNS ALONG THE COMPARTMENT HOUSING THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG. THIS CRACK COULD POTENTIALLY TEAR THE AIRBAG UPON DEPLOYMENT MAKING IT USELESS IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THIS WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AND IT COULD BE REPLACED BUT THAT THE REPLACEMENT MAY CRACK DUE TO BODY SHIFTING DURING OPERATION AND SUN EXPOSURE. NOW THE DASH IS BEGINNING TO CRACK IN OTHER PLACES (STRESS FRACTURES). NOT SURE WHEN THESE CRACKS STARTED WHETHER THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION OR STATIONARY.
