WE PURCHASED OUR VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 2017 AND DIDN'T NOTICE THE CRACKS UNTIL AFTER WE PURCHASED. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING TO ME SEEING THE POTENTIAL RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS AND AN OBVIOUS DEFECT HAVING TO DO WITH THE CRACKS FOUND ON MY DASH. ONE CRACK IS OVER THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WHERE MY 14 YEAR OLD SON USUALLY RIDES AND THE OTHER OVER THE STEERING WHEEL. DOES IT REALLY TAKE SOMEONE BEING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?
