Unknown Or Other Apr 2017
As with many suburbans 2007 and older, I have two cracks on my dashboard - one by the passenger side airbag, the other above the instrument panel. I believe this isssue is very wide spread. Can anything be done? Clearly its a manufacturer defect

Dash cracked in multiple places, but especially around the airbag
