Description of the problem	I was involved in an accident in which i rear-ended the vehicle in front of me. I decelerated from between 60 and 65 mph to 0 mph in just a few seconds, with frontal impact being made with the car in front of me probably somewhere around 30 mph or less. My knee airbag deployed immediately (i have the bruise to prove it). My steering wheel airbag began deploy but stopped. I have pictures showing the horn cover of the steering wheel separated from the base about a centimeter. My horn began honking in even pulses. My steering wheel airbag never actually deployed. I noticed that other 2013 ford models had recalls for steering wheel airbag failures, but not the focus. The symptoms described, like for the fusion, seem similar to what i saw with my airbag. The fact that the sensors detected the crash was enough to set off the airbag, but the airbag could not fully deploy concerns me. My vehicle is in the process of being repaired, and both airbags are being replaced, but i wanted to be sure to report this, just in case this could be the start of a bigger issue for my model. I was lucky. In my accident, the steering wheel airbag was not needed to keep me safe, but someone else might not be so lucky.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
