| Description of the problem | There is a crack on the drivers side dash, at the upper left hand corned of the airbag. The vehicle has not been in a collision since i purchased it nor do i do any kind of offroading on rough terrain. Vehicle is always parked in my driveway. I woke up one morning, got in the truck and the crack was there. The evening prior, there was no crack in the dash. I do not know the specific cause of this crack. While doing research, i noticed that other vehicles like mine have experienced airbag failures which have resulted in accidents and at least one fatality. The crack tends to expand when the weather is hot and contracts to almost an unnoticeable state when cool. |
