Tamara recall: I was driving at night & a deer ran in front of my car & the front bumper & rt headlight had to be replaced on my 2013 nissan, versa. My insurance pd it. I am not certain if the airbags should have deployed but they did not deploy even with my putting my foot on the brakes hard & still hitting the deer, I thought it strange that the airbags did not deploy with the sudden brakes & hitting the side of the deer. Was the airbags supposed to deploy in that situation? I don't know. Is there something wrong with the airbags? Unknown not deploy. Is this normal? I don't know?
