| Description of the problem | Dashboard on 2001 dodge ram 1500 is cracking. No specific event precipitated the failure. A cloth dashcover was placed on top of the dash in an attempt to minimize injury if pieces of the dash would be disloged in a crash. The passenger air bag is in the area of the cracking and there is concern that an air bag deployment would also propel sharp pieces of the cracked dashboard towards the passengers in the vehicle. |
