The top section of the dashboard has multiple cracks including areas directly behind the instrument cluster and around the passenger side airbags. The airbag section is the most troubling, as it would appear the broken sections could become airborne at a high rate of velocity in the event of an airbag deployment.

Received notification summer of 2016 of the issue and that i would be contacted when the parts were available. It has been almost three years since that letter and i have received no notification on this being corrected on my vehicle. I am estimating on the date the letter was sent.
