What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2013 GMC Sierra Denali, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

DASH HAS CRACKED NEAR AIRBAG CREATING A POTENTIAL DEPLOYMENT ISSUE.
THE DASHBOARD CRACKED ON ITS OWN. RIGHT ACROSS THE CONTROL PANEL AND ON THE OUTER EDGES OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY THROUGH AMTRUST (OFFICIAL GM WARRANTY PARTNER) - BUT THEY DECLINED TO COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THESE CRACKS ARE IDENTICAL TO HUNDREDS I SEE POSTED FROM GM TRUCK OWNERS ONLINE.
