NHTSA Complaint #10883485 — 2011 GMC YUKON

THE DASHBOARD ON MY 2011 YUKON XL WITH ONLY 52,000 MILES ON IT. A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO MY YUKON DASHBOARD CRACKED OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND AT THE RIGHT PASSENGER AIRBAG. THIS DASHBOARD HAS NO SUPPORT UNDER IT AND I CAN PUSH THE DASHBOARD DOWN WITH MY FINGER WITHOUT APPLYING ANY FORCE. WHEN THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS THE DASHBOARD WILL BREAK OFF AT THE WEAK POINT BREAKING WITH POINTED SHARP AREAS THAT CAN EITHER PUNCTURE THE AIRBAG OR HIT THE PASSENGER. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ITEM. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THIS CRACKED DUE TO HEAT SO I AM NOW CONCERNED THAT THE FAULTY DASHBOARD IS CRACKING DUE TO HEAT THAT THE TAKATA RECALL IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT ALSO RELATES TO HEAT IN THIS VEHICLE. BOTH OF THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE RECALLED.
