Consumer Description

MY 1998 DODGE RAM 1500 PICKUP HAS A CHRONIC CASE OF CRACKED DASH. THIS HAS BEEN HEAVILY NOTED FROM 1998 MODELS THROUGH THE 2004 MODELS. THIS IS EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS TO PASSENGER SAFETY BECAUSE IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SHOULD DEPLOY THE PASSENGER OF DRIVER COULD BE IMPALED BY SHARP SHARDS OF PLASTIC FROM THE FRACTURED DASH. THESE DASHES NEED TO BE RECALLED DUE TO THIS EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
