"takata airbag" I was in a accident where a person ran a red light, going about 45 MPH and I t-bone that person's vehicle, with me going about 40 MPH. The airbag delayed on deployment in my vehicle. I had my seat-belt on but I still ended up hitting my chest on the steering wheel and hitting my head on the windshield before airbag deployed. I am trying to figure out if my airbag can get defective over years because of the delay of deployment. I don't know if it is a takata airbag that isn't on the recall list yet or not. I still have the vehicle and the airbag part itself that I can give you the numbers off of. Someone reminded me about the takata airbags so I figured I ask.
