Defective dash i.e. bubbles, saggy airbag cover
Hi guys,
Have any of you noticed bubbles in your dash?
Another defect that I have noticed is that many passenger airbag covers have an ugly indentaion in them where due to defective manufacturing or design the middle sags.
I have had both these problems from day one, so it looks like its time to hit HA up for a new dash.

This is the dimple I have, it is very small and only shows up in some lighting conditions.
I agree with Col about the airbag, it is designed to split and the plastic is thin.

That is simply the thin spot where it splits when the air bag operates it is common to most dash mounted passenger air bags.
Several of our American colleagues have had this fixed under warranty.

Had the dealer look at my dash yesterday and....
As unbelievable as it may sound HA have approved the replacement of my dash and the airbag cover.
So it is a defect after all.
For a moment I thought they were going to say it was caused by driving the car hard.
