THE DASHBOARD AROUND THE PASSENGER AIR BAG HAS CRACKED ALONG THE UPPER LEFT OUTLINE OF THE AIR BAG AND THE CRACK HAS RAN INTO THE AIR BAG SEAM. ALSO ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE, THE DASHBOARD HAS ALSO CRACKED IN A SIMILAR WAY AROUND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS CRACK IS GETTING LONGER AND RUNNING TOWARDS THE AIR VENT. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE INTEGRITY OF THE AIR BAG HAS BEEN COMPROMISED AND THAT A POSSIBLE IMPACT MAY CAUSE FLYING PIECES OF PLASTIC ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER.
