TWO DASHBOARD CRACKS ON 2008 CHEVROLET TAHOE, 1 OF WHICH IS DIRECTLY GOING TO PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG COMPARTMENT. IF THIS AIRBAG IS TO BE DEPLOYED, IT WILL SEND THE PIECES OF THIS DASH FLYING THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THESE IDENTICAL CRACKS ON THESE GENERATION VEHICLES WITH NO SUPPORT FROM GM. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKING ALL OVER, AND THERE IS EVEN A HOLE WHERE IT CRACKED SO BAD THAT A PIECE FELL OFF. I BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS.
