Description of the problem	I purchased my 2001 dodge ram in 2006 with just a small crack or two in the dash. By 2008 the small cracks turned into large cracks and then the first part over the radio area as shown in picture fell in! At the time i had placed some items on the dash and had thought that caused it but when i started to clean it up more started to just break off so i didn't mess with it again! I contacted barrett dodge in athens ga a week later and spoke with the service deportment. They told me there was no recalls and truck was out of warranty so at that time there was nothing they would do other than charge me a crazy price to replace it for my and then if a recall ever did happen they said i would probably get back at least half of my repair cost! That still meant i would have paid hundreds for the repair so i didn't do it. The main reason im looking into this again now in 2015 is because yesterday my 8 year old son was playing in the truck while i was working on it and he went to get a toy off the dash and his arm went through the dash and cut him leaving about a 1 inch long cut in his arm! This is now why im now 7 years later surprised that with all the complaints that are on the internet about this issue that dodge has not stepped up nor have they been made to step up and help fix this issue! Does somebody's child have to be seriously injured or god forbid die from a injury caused by the shape pieces of this dash before something is done about this! Im now looking into getting this dash repaired mainly because of the safety for my family! I really have not been concerned about the cosmetic look that dodge has been hiding behind for their reason to not fix this issue! But i will be dammed if im going to let this poorly designed dodge dash hurt my family again!

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.
