TAKATA RECALL THE DASH OF MY 2007 CHEVROLET TAHOE IS CRACKED SEVERELY, IF THE AIRBAG DOES DEPLOY THE WHOLE DASH WILL PROBABLY DEPLOY WITH IT. THIS IS A SERIOUS HAZARD.

I PURCHASED THIS TAHOE IN 2008 WITH ALMOST 13000 MILES ON IT. BEFORE THE WARRANTY EXPIRED I HAD THE DASH BOARD REPLACED BECAUSE OF THE CRACKS IN IT. NOW IT HAS CRACKS ALL OVER WHICH ARE WORSE THEN THE ORIGINAL ONE HAD. THERE ARE A LOT OF SHARP AREARS ON IT THAT CUT EASILY WHEN RUNNING A RAG OVER IT TO CLEAN IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT WOULD BE THE RESULT IF IT WAS INVOLVED IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT.

TAKATA RECALL - I WOULD PREFER TO HAVE MY PASSENGER AIR BAG DISABLED UNTIL REPAIR PARTS ARE AVAILABLE BECAUSE I HAVE SURVIVED FRONTAL COLLISION WITH SEAT BELT USE BUT I DON'T THINK MY ODDS ARE AS GOOD WITH SHRAPNEL FLYING AT MY HEAD AT 200 MPH FROM A DEFECTIVE TAKATA INFLATOR. MY DEALER WOULD NOT DISCONNECT THE PRESSURE SWITCH TO THE PASSENGER AIR BAG.
