Incident: February 20, 2018 · Filed: April 14, 2018

AFTER A RECENT TRIP TO ATLANTA, I NOTICED A CRACK IN THE DASH ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THIS CRACK IS WHERE THE AIRBAG IS LOCATED. NOW I HAVE NOTICED THE CENTER OF THE DASH IS COLLAPSING IN ESPECIALLY ON WARM DAYS. NOTHING HAS BEEN ON THE DASHBOARD THAT WOULD HAVE CREATED THIS CRACK. I FEAR THAT THE DASH MAY COLLAPSE ALL THE WAY IN OR BECAME A PROJECTILE IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, ESPECIALLY IF THE AIR BAG IS DEPLOYED.
