Front Dash Crack

[2011_LT_28]

So how is this dash cracking issue not a manufactor recall to he fixed yet? My 2011 tahoe got its crack after me owning it for just two short years (last summer it happened) also had a buddy with a '14 Tahoe with 30k miles and his cracked as well
My crack is of course on the part of the dash that would be the biggest attached part that goes around the whole width of the inside

It is not safety related. It is cosmetic, and by all means a poor design. That engineer probably graduated at the bottom of his class.

I'm new to the forum, but my dash has been cracked for at least 5 or 6 years and only getting worse. I have a cheap ebay dash cover on it. I was surprised how bad it has gotten when I pulled on the dash cover yesterday. A large section in the middle is broken on both sides and just floating in place.

Wow!! You know i wonder are 99% of all the cracked dashes black? Maybe black retains the heat better? Just a assumption but this is not a cheap fix and although not a "saftey issue" it is a EXPENSIVE cosmetic issue on a vehicle i spent 30k on!!

I got a dark cashmere and it has been repaired by previous owner but showing a few more around the airbag. If mine gets as bad as Texan's, I'll buy a new one and glaze the underside with fiberglass and resin.

ok so i just got off the phone with chevy "headquarters" and after a half a dozen questions and waiting on the phone for an additonal 5-10 mins i found that the "BUMPER TO BUMPER" warranty DOES cover this issue and mine is expired because i have 84,000 miles but i guess if anyone still has lower miles this would be covered
1 (800) 950-2438 Is the # i called so good luck to anyone else who may call

My vehicle is a 2013 Yukon Denali, I am the original owner (07/2012) and yesterday I noticed 2 cracks beginning in the dashboard one near the gauge cluster, the other by the drivers side vent.

Holy crap, that is bad.....do you park outside or in a garage?....mines a 13 hoe but im always garaged and not in direct sun all day in NY...i really f'in hope that makes a difference in how long mine lasts....i would flip out if mine looked like that especially because i still owe 4 grand on it

So is there any issue with clearance if you re-enforce the back side of the new dashboard with fiberglass before installing?

I wouldn't think as long as you keep it to one or two layers of cloth with resin. The areas around the mounting tabs should be a good reference on how thick you can go.
