Takata recall. I just received a paper in the mail and I'm reading it and it says airbag recall for my vehicle.

I recently just crashed my vehicle and no airbag deployed and I tried to fight with my dealership about it and all they said was 'you signed a paper knowing they didn't deploy', what world would someone buy a vehicle knowing they don't deploy?
