TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 GMC YUKON DENALI XL. WHILE STATIONARY, THE DASHBOARD OF THE VEHICLE BECAME CRACKED ACROSS THE AIR BAG SECTION. A DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED THE CONTACT WITH CASE NUMBER: 8-3684476402. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000.
I CAME OUT TO A CRACKED DASHBOARD THIS MORNING. THE CRACK IS RIGHT AROUND THE AIRBAG AND I'M CONCERNED THE CRACKED DASH CAN EITHER PUNTURE THE AIRBAG IF DEPLOYED OR SEND PLASTIC PEICES FLYING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED
DASHBOARD HAS CRACKED IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO AIRBAG AND ABOVE LEFT SIDE OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. CONCERN FOR SAFETY UPON COLLISION AND/OR AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT.
THE DOOR HANDLES ON BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE HAVE BECOME SO SHARP THAT WHEN TRYING TO OPEN THE DOOR THEY CUT YOUR FINGER. BOTH MY WIFE AND I HAVE HAD OUR FINGERS CUT FROM SLIGHT TO VERY BLOODY. THIS APPEARS THAT IT IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM THAT GM REFUSES TO DEAL WITH. *TR

It's a meaningful issue. 26 complaints have been filed and the failure mode causes operational problems for owners. Repairs average $1,500.
At what mileage does the body typically fail?
Mileage data is limited for this issue. Owners report failures across a wide range, suggesting cause is more about driving conditions and maintenance than mileage alone.

The exact figure depends on the specific failure mode, parts availability, and your local labor rates. If you're outside factory warranty, an extended service contract often covers this category.
