OUR 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL HAS DEVELOPED 3 SEPARATE CRACKS IN THE DASHBOARD. ONE IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TOP OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG, ONE IS A VERY LARGE CRACK NEAR THE WINDSHIELD AND RUNNING UP OVER THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND ONE IS ON DRIVER SIDE NEAR LARGE CRACK AT INSTRUMENT PANEL. WE HAVE CONCERNS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYS, SHARP PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASH MAY BREAK LOOSE AND INJURE PASSENGERS IN OUR VEHICLE.
OUR 2008 GMC YUKON DENALI XL HAS DEVELOPED A CRACK IN THE DASHBOARD RIGHT AT THE CORNER OF THE AIRBAG. WE HAVE CONCERNS IF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG EVER DEPLOYS, SHARP PIECES OF THE BROKEN DASH MAY BREAK LOOSE AND INJURE PASSENGERS IN OUR VEHICLE.
90K MILES ON MY 2008 YUKON DENALI XL. DASH IS CRACKING IN FRONT OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON DASH. SEEMS TO BE A NOT TOO UNCOMMON DEFECT. IVE ATTEMPTED TO GLUE IT UNTIL IT CAN BE REPAIRED.
DEFECTIVE DASHBOARD RESULTS IN CRAKING: THE DRIVER-SIDE CRACKS OCCUR TO THE LEFT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, WHILE THOSE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TAKE PLACE IN THE AREA SURROUNDING THE AIRBAG, CLOSER TO THE MIDDLE OF THE DASH. I CONCERN THAT A CRACKED DASH AT THE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT POINT COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR
