They usually crack on passenger side starting around the airbag insert.

'11 cracked at 10k miles (1500 CCSB z71)
'09 cracked around 30-40k miles (2500 CCSB 4wd)
'08 cracked unk miles
'13 has 500 miles on it and I bet it will crack soon too

You would think after this many years, GM would have addressed the underlying issue or someone would have come up with a reasonable fix for it. This is RIDICULOUS IMHO.

How bad are the cracks? Are they just drying out or is it stress cracks??
