Takata recall Chevrolet is out of replacements
NHTSA ODI report, 2017-12-13
Takata recall, just like everyone else, GM is not able or willing to replace the Takata inflators which brings me to the cracked dashboards.
NHTSA ODI report, 2017-11-16
My dashboard at my passenger airbag and at my gauge cluster have severe cracks. I'm afraid my passenger airbag will not deploy and my gauges will fall deep inside the dash. GM is aware of the problem, but will not recall for fix.

The "Chrome clad" Wheels on my 2010 Suburban started showing air pocket and I now know Chevrolet went the cheap route and put a plastic cover on the wheels for the 75TH diamond edition 2010 suburbans.
