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. I'M CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY OF MYSELF AND MY FAMILY IF THE AIRBAG WAS TO GO OFF AND SEND SHARDS OF SHARP PLASTIC THOUGH THE VEHICLE. I WOULD APPRECIATE GM RECALLING AND FIXING THE ISSUE THAT THEY ARE ALREADY AWARE OF.

THE DASH IS CRACKING NEAR THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND NEAR THE AIR BAG. I USE A SUNSCREEN, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE. THIS IS TOO EXPENSIVE AND WELL TAKEN CARE OF A VEHICLE. I WORRIES ME THAT THERE MAY BE SOME SAFETY ISSUES WITH A CRACKED PLASTIC DASH IN CASE OF ACCIDENT.
