MY DASHBOARD HAS SEVERAL CRACKS EXPOSING THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS WITHIN THE DASH. THESE CRACKS ARE IN VARIOUS PLACES ACROSS THE ENTIRE DASH. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE BRAND NEW AND IT IS CURRENTLY IN EXCELLENT CONDITION (WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE DASH) I AM CONCERNED THAT IF THE AIR BAG WERE TO BE DEPLOYED THE PLASTIC DASHBOARD WOULD EXPLODE AND EXPOSE MY PASSENGERS OR MYSELF TO ADDITIONAL HAZARDS WITHIN THE VEHICLE. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN MY DASH BOARD IS NOW EXPOSED TO ADDITIONAL HAZARDS DUE TO THE ADDITIONAL EXPOSURE TO THE SUN. I AM FILING THIS INCIDENT WITH THE HOPES THAT IT WILL HELP A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. I NOTICED THE FIRST SMALL CRACK IN 2011. I HAVE KEPT AN EYE ON IT OVER THE YEARS AND AS OF TODAY, THERE ARE EXPOSED OPENINGS IN THE DASH IN SEVERAL PLACES. UNTIL TODAY, I THOUGHT THAT I MIGHT HAVE JUST BEEN UNLUCKY, HOWEVER AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, IT IS APPARENT THAT I AM NOT ALONE, AND THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED UNDER A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO FILE THIS REPORT ON MY BEHALF. FEEL FREE TO EMAIL ME WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AS NEEDED. BEST REGARDS. *TR

THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATORS ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER DOORS FAILED BEFORE THE TRUCK HAD 35000 MILED ON THE ODOMETER.

MY DASH HAS CRACKED IN 2 PLACES!! ONE BEING BY THE AIRBAG. I'M AFRAID IF THE AIRBAG DEPLOYS DEBRI WILL BE THROWN AT THE PASSENGER!

DASH AROUND AIR BAG IS CRACKED WITH SHARP EDGES AND COULD RESULT IN FLYING OBJECTS IF AIR BAG DEPLOYED.
