| Description of the problem | Takata recall i am the original owner of a 2008 tahoe lt 4wd and have contacted asheville chevrolet in asheville, nc on a couple of occassions regarding this airbag recall, most recently about 1 year ago when i noticed that the dash was starting to crack particuliarly two cracks near the passenger side airbag. The service manager came out and looked at the dash and advised me that this is a common problem with dash cracking in tahoe models and was not related to the takata recall but that there was also not a recall on the dash cracking around the airbag. I am a retired law enforcement officer that used to supervise a traffic safety unit and am a certified traffic crash reconstructionist, this problem with the dashboards cracking needs to be further investigated by nhtsa to determine if it is in fact related to the takata recall and escalate gm to replace the dashes and /or takata airbags if it is. |
