I got out of work and the service airbag light came on so immediately I turned it off and started my truck again thinking it was just something weird that didn't register right. It has sence been 3 day so I looked up recalls on my truck and the recalls were for my 09 truck but my VIN didn't quite match the "affected" vehicles. I was stationary and it was snowing outside. The recall said there was an acoustic pad that prevented the sensor from working correctly.

Tl* the contact owns a 2009 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving approximately 40 MPH, the front driver's and passenger's side curtain air bags inadvertently deployed. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who informed the contact that both air bag sensors corroded which contributed to the unexpected deployment. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 40,300.
Vehicle was parked for the day while I worked. Entered and started vehicle, the vehicle message center indicated "service airbags" message. The message would come and go which made it difficult for the dealer to determine the problem. In november of 2013 the service airbag message stayed on, took vehicle in and had the front passanger side airbag sensor replaced. This resolved the problem. One month later (december 2013) the same thing happened and it turned out to be the front drivers side airbag sensor. Had the sensor replaced, resolved the problem.
