Description of the problem	I own a 2005 acura tl with a cracked dashboard. It appears that the dashboard has become brittle and is cracking near the airbag location. I fear this could lead to a problem with either airbag deployment or shards of dashboard being hurled in the event of deployment. This issue seems to be affecting almost every 04-05 acura tl owner. Yet acura refuses to correct the problem. It's only solution is to charge owners $2,000 to replace the dash. As a side note, my car has always been parked indoors at home or in covered parking at my work. I avoid it being out in the sun and on the few times i have had to park in the sun i use a reflective sun shade and vent windows.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
