On 20 march 17, I was traveling down a country road when a dog entered the roadway. I swerved right and was not able to correct, without the possibility of over steering and possibility rolling my truck. I went through a small ditch my side air bags deployed. I was able to get back on the road.I stopped the truck and could not see any damage. I returned to my friends house and contacted my insurance,tow company and the local sheriff dept, nobody including the repair facility could detect any damage aside of the air bag deployment. My insurance adjuster and the service facility both expressed they are familiar of such accidental side air bag deployments on this vehicle.,
