prado dash cracking

Recommended Posts

I have a 2007 prado that has a cracked dash also, I just thought it was the sun. Doing some research as I’d like to replace it and come across this conversation, to realise it’s obviously a manufacturing issue. 😟  Toyota won’t want a bar of this, it would be nice if they took responsibility for it, to think of the money they sell them for even the secondhand ones they would do so.

Hola Enrique,

Encantado de tener noticias tuyas desde Argentina. Espero que estés bien amigo. Es posible que Toyota no haya realizado ningún tipo de retiro del mercado en su país, ya que hubiera sido muy costoso reemplazar todos los autos afectados. Creo que los países que hacen más ruido serán escuchados. Hay evidencia de que lo sabían pero decidieron mantenerlo en secreto. No me sorprende. Desafortunadamente, los fabricantes de automóviles están utilizando muchos materiales reciclados, especialmente plásticos para el acabado interior, y algunos pasan la prueba del tiempo y otros no. No pueden garantizar que cada automóvil individual sea perfecto, ya que hay demasiados factores atenuantes sobre cómo y por qué se agrietó el plástico.

Si fuera quisquilloso al respecto, contrataría a un tapicero de automóviles y haría que lo cubrieran con un bonito cuero cosido para acentuar el resto del interior, especialmente si tienes asientos de cuero. Solo un pensamiento. De todos modos, gracias por pasar.

Todo lo mejor :thumbsup:

Hi all, I own a 2006 model Toyota Prado Grande and I'm having the same problem along the whole of the dash, I thought putting a dash mat up on it was supposed to stop this from happening.  My interior is leather what is everyone else thinking of doing with this problem.  I can't afford to buy a new dash or have Toyota repair it it costs to much. Thank you in advance..

Happy New Year to everyone on here, let's hope 2022 will be a better year.

Hi Wendy, If money is a problem, then I'd just keep it covered with the dash mat and try not to think about it. I know it's disappointing, but unfortunately these things can happen from time to time. I think Toyota have learned from this and I doubt we'll ever see this issue again in the for foreseeable future. 

A cracked dash pad will no interfere with any safety aspects of the vehicle. It's just a cosmetic thing really.
