Default crack in dash
I'm seeing a small, straight, vertical crack in the passenger side of my dash of my 2011. I am assuming it is where the hidden score line is for the air bag. I will be taking it to the dealer for them to look at this week. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this.

It's probably the airbag? Mine is clearly visible in bright light situations. If that's the case, normal.

Took a couple of years to notice mine, but it's there.

Actually looks like a very wide/shallow letter H.

Just above the word "Corvette" embossed into the dash, passenger side. Faintly.

I have always been able to see the horizontal indentation for the air bag, and if I look close I can see the vertical lines, but this is not just a line or indentation. Now, at the top of the right hand line, it is cracking all the way through.

Opps, that's a whole 'nuther story.

stopped by the dealer, the service manager looked at it.. He said he has never seen any soft dash do that before. They are replacing the whole dash.. He did mention that because it would be considered a cosmetic issue, it would not have been covered after the 3/36 warranty even though I had extended the bumper to bumper to 5/50.
