Description of the problem | Passenger dash cover has lost integrity/cracked along the lines where the airbag deploys and am concerned that the force of potential airbag deployment could be affected and not work as designed or deploy with too much force to cause injury or death to the occupant if the airbag cover should fly off upon deployment. This is an issue with the dash of many mazda vehicles and should at a minimum be reviewed. The car has not been in any accidents and the airbags recall has recently been performed by a mazda dealer. |
