“While driving straight/upslope on a dirt road the side air bags deployed in my 2015 SIERRA 2500 hd pickup truck. There was no impact and absolutely no damage to the exterior or undercarriage of the vehicle. Vehicle would not restart for several minutes after the air bag deployment (if on a busy street I would have been unable to get out of roadway)”
