2011 GMC YUKON XL Structurebody Problems

THE DASHBOARD HAS SPONTANEOUSLY CRACKED IN TWO LOCATIONS AFTER SITTING IN OUR GARAGE. A 6" CRACK HAS NO FORMED OVER THE CURVED INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DISPLAY ON DRIVER SIDE AND A 1" CRACK HAS OCCURRED NEAR THE AIR BAG COVER CORNER ON PASSENGER SIDE. THESE CRACKS ARE SIMILAR IN LOCATION AND SIZE TO OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN REPORTED ON GMC YUKONS. STARTED NOTICING THE CRACK IN AUGUST OF 2020. I HAVE RECEIVED A RECALL ON PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG.

TAKATA RECALL THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON WHEN I TURN ON THE CAR AND WILL NOT TURN OFF. THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED IS CRACKED. IF THE AIRBAG RELEASES, THE DASHBOARD COULD FLY UP AND SLICE THE PASSENGER OR EVEN THE DRIVER. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A COLLISION, BUT THIS MUST BE ADDRESSED SOON! PLEASE HELP.
