TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V381000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2016. AFTER CONTACTING THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE PARTS NEEDED FOR THE RECALL REMEDY WERE STILL NOT AVAILABLE AND NO ESTIMATED TIME FOR RECEIVING THE PARTS COULD BE PROVIDED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. VIN TOOL CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE DASHBOARD IS CRACKED. IT STARTED WITH A SMALL CRACK AND NOW IT'S FROM ON END TO THE OTHER.

THE DASHBOARD HAS RANDOMLY AND SEVERELY CRACKED IN TWO DIFFERENT PLACES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. THE MOST RECENT JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO.

IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE DASH WAS CRACKED IN TWO SPOTS WHILE CLEANING THE VEHICLE. ONE OF THE CRACKS IS LOCATED NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WHILE THE OTHER LARGER CRACK IS IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CAUSE THE CRACK. MY WIFE AND I DO NOT USE ARMOR ALL ON THE DASH, WE HAVE NOT PLACED ANYTHING HEAVY ON THE DASH, WE DO NOT PLACE FEET ON THE DASH, WE HAVE NOT HAD ANY ACCIDENTS THAT WOULD CAUSE THE DASH TO CRACK. OUR CONCERN IS PIECES OF THE DASH BREAKING OFF DURING A COLLISION CAUSING INJURY WITH AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. ANOTHER CAUSE FOR CONCERN IS THE CRACKING GETTING WORSE CAUSING HOLES IN THE DASH, EXPOSING THE ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS UNDER THE DASH.

RIDING DOWN THE ROAD DOWNTOWN ATLANTA , THE SIDE ONLY ROLLOVER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED FOR NO REASON.

I SEE THAT THERE IS AN OUTSTANDING RECALL FOR MY VEHICLE, I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN AND CANNOT RISK DRIVING THEM IN A VEHICLE THAT HAS ISSUES WITH THE AIRBAGS. WHAT CAN BE DONE AS I AM PAYING AND DRIVING THIS VEHICLE THAT IS POTENTIALLY DEADLY IF THE AIRBAGS DEPLOY IN AN ACCIDENT. THE RECALL # IS 16V381. I KEEP SEEING THAT THERE IS NO REMEDY AVAILABLE. THIS IS A SERIOUS DANGER TO MY FAMILY.

MY DASH KEEPS CRACKING AROUND THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. THESE CRACKS MAY CAUSE PIECES OF THE DASH TO BECOME FLYING PROJECTILES IN THE EVENT OF AN ACCIDENT WHERE THE PASSENGER OR SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG DEPLOYS. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR ME SINCE 2009. GM IS REFUSING TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM.

MY DASHBOARD CRACKS AROUND THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. I HAVE HAD 2 DASHBOARDS REPLACED ALREADY.
