 I work for the missouri department of natural resources. we own a 2007 chevy silverado. while this vehicle was sitting, parked, with the ignition off, the seat belt retractor unit unexpectedly exploded causing both seatbelts to instantly retract and lock up. there were no injuries, but one of our staff was standing directly next to the truck with the door open when this happened. he said the loud explosion sounded like a gunshot. *tr
