THE SIGNIFICANCE VARIES FROM MINOR DISTORTION TO CONSIDERABLE MELTING OF THE PLASTIC AROUND THE HWFS FLUID CHAMBER.
IT IS POSSIBLE FOR THE HEATED WASHER MODULE TO IGNITE AND A FIRE MAY OCCUR.
DEALERS WILL PERMANENTLY DISABLE AND REMOVE THE HEATED WASHER FLUID MODULE. AN UPDATED PAGE FOR THE OWNER MANUAL WILL BE PROVIDED AND INSERTED IN THE OWNER MANUAL TO DOCUMENT THAT THE FEATURE HAS BEEN PERMANENTLY DISABLED AND REMOVED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 11, 2010.

SHORTLY AFTER MY 2008 WARRANTY EXPIRED I NOTICED THAT THE INTERIOR DASHBOARD BEGAN CRACKING IN VARIOUS PLACES AND I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MANY OF THE PARTS IN THIS VEHICLE SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP PARTS. AFTER MY LAST PART EPISODE, I DECIDED TO LOOK UP A COMMON THEME ONLINE; ONLY TO DISCOVER THERE ARE MANY OTHER CUSTOMERS THAT HAVE THE SAME ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING. HOWEVER, THE CRACKED DASHBOARD IS MORE SERIOUS BECAUSE IT HOUSES THE DEFECTED TAKATA AIRBAG THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE REPLACED. HOWEVER, NO ONE HAS CONTACTED ME ON REPLACING THAT ISSUE EITHER. THE DASH BOARD FIRST CRACKED IN JULY 2011 AND ANOTHER CRACKED OCCURRED IN JULY 2017. I USE A DASH COVER TO PROTECT MY VEHICLE FROM HEAT; HOWEVER, NOTHING SEEM TO STOP THE DASH FROM CRACKING AND THE INTERIOR PARTS FROM FALLING A PART.

TWO DASHBOARD CRACKS ON 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE, 1 OF WHICH IS DIRECTLY GOING TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. IF THIS AIRBAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED, IT WILL SEND THE PIECES OF THIS DASH FLYING THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE IDENTICAL CRACKS ON THESE GENERATION VEHICLES WITH NO SUPPORT FROM GM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALL OVER, AND THERE IS EVEN A HOLE WHERE IT CRACKED SO BAD THAT A PIECE FELL OFF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
