What owners wrote
My dashboard at my passenger airbag and at my gauge cluster have severe cracks. I'm afraid my passenger airbag will not deploy and my gauges will fall deep inside the dash. GM is aware of the problem, but will not recall for fix. This is a serious concern.
Dash is cracked by passenger airbag and it will not allow the cover to attach properly. Sharp plastic edge may cut airbag when deployed making it useless. Also, there is a recall on the airbag and GM is stating that no parts are available and they won't be for a while.
