Description of the problem	My daughter was in an accident on aug 26 of 2020. She was making a left hand turn when oncoming traffic struck her in passenger front bumper and fender. Her car was totaled becuase of frame damage. She estimates the other car was traveling 25-30 mph at time of impact. She was in the process of braking at impact. No airbags deployed on the vw as you can see in the pictures. All airbags deployed on other car (2013 honda crv). My concern is the airbag recall was performed prior to purchasing the car, yet failed to deploy. I've notified vw customer care with location of vehicle, yet they wont inspect it til i provide police report, which is very inconvenient to obtain, citing they can not obtain it. I told them where vehicle is located, or was. I fear it may be sold and cannibalized before determining why they did not deploy.

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.
