First when I bought the van and had to replace had gasket which I was told that this is a common problem for this van, yet there is no recall. Then on october 13th 2003 I was in a auto accident when I was stopped at a light I was hit from the rear by a women doing 30-35 MPH I hit people in front of me and the van was totalled but yet the airbags did not deploy. I still have the van, my wife and I were both hurt. Can you tell me if there is a recall on the airbags not deploying.

I own a 1998 plymouth voyager minivan (VIN #[xxx]) and have experienced a clockspring failure which resulted in my driver's side airbag, horn and cruise control not working. Even though there is a current recall for this problem on this model year vehicle, the manufacturer stated I was not covered since the build date was two days after the end of the covered period. This seems very unreasonable to me and indicates that maybe the recall was too narrow. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The airbag light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, however the problem recurred.
The air bag deployed without impact.

My 1998 plymouth voyager is not on the recall list for the clock spring replacement. I experienced the same problem with this vehicle and had it fixed before the recall came out.
