Narrative

In 2021, drove off the road inadvertently at 65mph, traveled about 200 yards across a ditch and thru scrub trees and came to rest when front bumper hit against a tree. NEITHER front air bags inflated.....both front air bags should be in this recall. Both seat belts on...I sustained minor head trauma as did my passenger which could have been prevented with air bag inflation. The truck was totaled and both my passenger and I are lucky to be alive. Once again, NEITHER front air bag inflated.....both front air bags should be in this recall.
