| Defects in manufacturer dashboard creation process may lead dashboard to fail by way of cracking and erosion. this failure of the 97-02 dodge ram does not allow for sufficient impact resistance in a frontal accident and may cause failures of the airbag system due to pieces of the broken dash interfering with supplemental restraint systems housed within the dashboard. this may also cause the supplemental restraint system to fail to deploy due to dashboard support being eroded away. cracking and breakage of dashboard may also cause electrical fires and failures if sharp dashboard pieces dislodge and fall into the wiring harness, cutting wires and shorting them out. events leading up to failure: none - seems to occur on the greater majority of all 97-02 dodge ram pickup trucks, either garaged or not and dashboards covered or not. failure correction: none as replacement dashboards incur the same failure. *tr | |||
