Consumer Description

CRACK APPEARED IN THE DASH WHERE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IS CONTAINED. THE CRACK STARTED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO AND THE CAR IS NOT GARAGED AND IS IN THE SUN ALL DAY SO I THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE CAUSED BY THE SUN. I LIVE IN GEORGIA AND THIS CAR ORIGINALLY CAME FROM THE PORT AUTHORITY IN FLORIDA WHERE IT IS ALSO VERY HOT. MY VIN NUMBER IS INCLUDED IN THE RANGE OF "POTENTIALLY AFFECTED VEHICLES" IN THE 14V-344 LETTER DATED JUNE 20, 2014, WRITTEN TO [XXX] OF THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION AND WAS SIGNED BY [XXX] , GROUP MANAGER, OF ENVIRONMENTAL, SAFETY & POWERTRAIN ENGINEERING, MAZDA NORTH AMERICAN OPERATIONS. I PRINTED A COPY OF THAT LETTER AND WILL ALSO CONTACT MAZDA TO SEE WHEN THEY PLAN TO INITIATE AN ACTION. I AM ASKING [XXX] THE SAME QUESTION HERE. IS MY FAMILY AND THE PEOPLE WITH THE CRACKS IN THEIR DASHES IN DANGER? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
