"takata recall" unfortunately, before the recall both airbags deployed. The passenger side exploded leaving a burn on the passengers leg. The drivers side bag also exploded after deployment leaving a burn on thumb of right hand of driver. The deployment was due to accident involving a deer on a state highway.
We had a huge buck deer run into the drivers side of the vehicle and the drivers side air bag did not deploy. The passengers side air bag did deploy. This is noted in the police report and at the auto body shop where vehicle was towed to. The vehicle was in motion when the deer hit us. The estimate to the insurance company is $9,000.00.
