All we can do it keep putting out the word, and tell everyone that has this issue to contact GM and their dealer. I am thinking about generating a complaint against GM with the BBB after I get my Dash replaced on the 29th.
I am paying $200, I hope for a recall, but either way, even though I think the Tahoe is the best looking SUV on the road, this maybe my last GM product. I have only owned GM from day 1.

If you can, get a pic of the underneath side of the old and new to see if there was a design change which would be evidence that they knew there was a problem.

shark, I think there is a new design or at least they changed something because the color and texture is slightly different than the other dash piece closest to the windshield.

Is it a coincidence that several of these cracked dashes are in Texas?

lol

Well, we Texans do tend to love our Trucks/SUVs, from soccer moms to ranch hands--never mind the fact we are a large percentage of the total US land mass and that most manufactors make a "Texas Edition"

I was told by my dealership that he thinks it was a manu defect on the 1st few runs and has nothing to do with TX sun/summers. There are a few fasteners that secure the dash from below that may cause stress over time - they crack in the same spots basically

Mine hasn't cracked yet but I always inspect it and also noted that the dash does pull down at 2 points that appear to be fasteners and they do seem to coincide with the crack points from the pictures I've seen...

I have a crack in the dash of my '07 Tahoe as well...
Texas made and it has been parked outside in the Texas heat for the first year and a half of ownership but garage kept ever since and I've owned it for 3+ yrs. Just thought I'd chime in on the dissapointment of this issue.
