NHTSA Complaint #10474132 — 2004 TOYOTA 4RUNNER

APPROX 3 YEARS AGO, I NOTICED A SMALL CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE, I THOUGHT MAYBE SOMEONE DID SOMETHING AND DID NOT TELL ME. SINCE THAT TIME, MY DASH HAS INCREASED IN THE AMOUNT AND LENGTH OF THE CRACKS. ONE CRACK IS ABOUT 24-28 INCHES LONG AND OTHERS ARE ABOUT 2 INCHES AND LONGER. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. MY 4RUNNER IS GARAGE KEPT AND I HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO MY DASH THAT WOULD CREATE THEY CRACKS. WHAT CAN HAPPEN IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT? CAN THIS CAUSE FLYING PIECES OF THE DASH BOARD TO BE IN YOUR FACE WHEN THE AIRBAG HITS CAUSING POSSIBLE FACIAL DAMAGE? *TR
