On wednesday september 30, 2020, my 2012 ford f-150 was involved in a 35mph front end collision. The driver was the only occupant in the vehicle. The driver side airbag did not deploy. I am concerned why airbag did not deploy. After accident, there was an amber "airbag malfunction" warning light illuminated on the instrument panel. In 2012, there was a ford f-150 recall # 12v198000 for passenger airbag control sensor module (ocsm). This VIN # was not included in recall. This vehicle may have a faulty ocsm that was not included in the recall. I am going to ask the repair shop to save this vehicles "black box" and ocsm in case there is need for further investigation of these parts.

Someone stopped short in front of me. I applied the brakes but could not avoid hitting car. The brake indicator on front control display said my brakes are ok. Once I crashed the seat belt engaged but I still hit the steering wheel with my chest. The airbags did not deploy! There was some heavy smoke though around the seat belt area or from perhaps the electrical connections under the seat?
