Consumer Description

BEGINNING IN MAY 2016, THE DASHBOARD OF MY 2016 ACURA TL BEGAN TO CRACK. THE CRACK PROPAGATES ALONG THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT BREAKAWAY SEAM LOCATED ON TOP OF THE DASHBOARD. THE CRACKING OCCURS ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF MY CAR. THIS IS LOCATION ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE AIR BAG DEPLOYS IN THE EVENT OF A SUBSTANTIAL COLLISION. MY CONCERN IS THAT DUST, DEBRIS AND POSSIBLY CONDENSATION OR LIQUID CAN DROP INTO THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT THEREBY NEGATIVELY EFFECTING THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE AIR BAG OR RENDERING THE AIR BAG INOPERABLE. THE CRACKING IS CONTINUING TO PROPAGATE ALONG THE SEAM OF THE AIR BAG COMPARTMENT. EVENTUALLY, THE ENTIRE AIR BAG COULD BE COMPLETELY EXPOSED.
