“Dashboard cracking the dashboard of my 2011 Gmc yukon xl denali has cracked next to the airbag which would pose a great deal of harm should the vehicle be involved in an accident and splinter or cause a fault with the airbag. The vehicle only has 53,355 miles on it. This appears to be a very common problem as I am researching and have found hundreds upon hundreds of similar complaints and occurrences.”
NHTSA complaint #10905056, filed 2016-09, 53,355 miles“Takata recall: the dashboard on our vehicle is cracked at the air bag on the passenger side and at the steering wheel on the driver side. There is also a takata recall which Gmc does not have a remedy. These 2 items have potential to be disastrous when combined together. The inflator exploding and the dash board breaking into pieces and sent throughout the cabin. We are asking for Gmc to replace the inflator and replace the dashboard.”
NHTSA complaint #11128365, filed 2018-09, 95,000 miles“Our 2011 Gmc Yukon Denali Xl has developed large cracks in the dashboard. One is located behind the instrument panel and at the corner of the airbag. We have concerns if the passenger side airbag ever deploys, sharp pieces of the broken dash may break loose and injure passengers in our vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10876522, filed 2016-06, 80,000 miles“We bought our used Gmc Yukon Denali Xl in november 2015. In may we noticed the upper left dashboard of the passenger side upper left corner next to airbag has a few cracks in it. My husband started our car to drive it today and the piece that cracked completely fell into the dashboard leaving a 1 hole. I am concerned that it will effect the airbag and what other effects it may have on the dashboard itself in a safety related way.”
NHTSA complaint #10882496, filed 2016-07, 106,000 miles“The dashboard has cracked around the passenger airbag opening. My belief is if the vehicle activates the airbag in an accident, the dashboard may split into pieces and send the pieces into the passengers. I have found hundreds of complaints about this flaw on the internet.”
