What's wrong, in plain English
Certain Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra crew cab trucks have a problem with the roof-rail side curtain airbag. The end cap on the left or right side inflator may separate from the inflator, or the inflator's sidewall may split open. If this happens, compressed gas inside can escape suddenly, sending the end cap or other pieces flying into the vehicle.
What you should do
Contact a Chevrolet dealer at 1-800-222-1020 or a GMC dealer at 888-988-7267 to schedule the repair.
The repair, replacing both roof-rail airbag modules, is free.
Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?
