Description of the problem | Takata recall- i was in a car accident in which another driver did an illegal uturn in front of me and i t-boned them. The bulk of the damage was on the passenger side. The drivers side airbag deployed with such intensity that it broke my arm and dislocated my elbow. I accumulated of $160k in medical bills that i ultimately had to reimburse my health insurance company because the other drivers insurance was minimal. I did not receive a recall notice until months after the accident. I live in the south where the humidity is great and according to the class action it caused them to deploy with great pressure. I contacted the class action people and they said my vin was not included in the recall and it clearly is. |
