"takata recall". I was driving and stopped for a light down a road in staten island, ny. As I was waiting, a deer was crossing the road. Simultaneously, a bus was next to me and scared the deer which caused it to run straight into my vehicle doing a fair amount of damage which has since been fixed. My airbag did not inflate, even though I was hit pretty hard. I was shaken up but suffered no major injuries. Recall#15v284

Air bags
- What is wrong
- On certain vehicles, due to improper assembly of the air bag inflator, which is used in the side air bag, the curtain shield air bag, and the knee air bag assembly, some inflators were produced with an insufficient amount of the heating agents necessary for proper air bag deployment. In this condition, the expansion force of the gas may be insufficient to properly inflate the air bag when the SRS system is activated during a crash.

- This may increase the risk of injury to the occupant in the involved seating position in the event of a crash.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the specific SRS air bag. The recall began on april 6, 2006. Owners may contact toyota at 1‑888‑270‑9371, scion at 1‑866‑548‑1851, or lexus at 1‑800‑255‑3987.
