Default Dash warp.....fixed or dead issue?

I was looking at my dash this morning and noticed the warp is becoming more pronounced. It came through looking perfect when I got the truck. In the spring I noticed it was starting to lift up.
I just did a quick search and it seems the issue has died down since the spring. The last posts I could find were from March. I also know a TSB was issued over last winter / spring and guys were reporting mixed results getting things squared away.
So my long winded question is what is the latest on getting it fixed? I'm thinking I'll wait until it becomes a real eyesore or until I get closer to the warranty period to have it taken care of.

This must have popped up on the current threads as I was typing my query. Seems there is no progress or true fix, just a lot of disgruntled truck owners.

The dash needs room to expand with heating. If they added expansion slots near the vents where it warps and room at the dash ends...

It wouldn’t need that room if the dash was made of sturdier material.

My ‘03 gets driven about 5,000 miles a year these days and I don’t cover the dash in any way. It doesn’t warp in Texas sun.


OP, if this is a big deal, wait for the next generation truck. The bean counters will hopefully find something else not as easy to find to botch.
