| Dashboard cover started lifting and pulling out from under windshield cowling about june 2012 and is traveling across to the passenger side where there is an airbag. i am now concerned that the lifting and creasing in front of the driver is a safety distraction and that if it continues to the passenger airbag that airbag may get set off unexpectedly, another safety hazard. it is definitely a manufacturer's defect and there are hundreds, if not thousands, of complaints of this on the internet. is there, or will there be, a recall to fix this problem? thank you. *tr | |||
