Description of the problem | Dashboard has two cracks. Each crack is about 2 inches long. One of them is on the left side, about 12 inches from the steering wheel. The other crack is on the top-left corner outside of the airbag area. The cracks have been getting bigger in the last few weeks. It appears that if an airbag were to deploy, the sharp end of the cracked dashboard could cause significant injury rather than protection. Normal driving conditions caused it. No known objects have been placed on dashboard to exert such force to cause it to break. |
