Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	I drove my car over a very minuscule crack in the road at an extremely low speed as i was making a turn and the passenger side airbag deployed. The car did not have a passenger at the time but the explosion of the airbag simultaneously blocked my view of the right side window while i was making a turn, put me into a state of shock and cut all power from my car. I was very lucky to have been the only person in the car while this happened and i was also fortunate enough to not have crashed into anything while my life was put in such severe danger from the state of chaos this airbag caused. I called bmw north america and they had stated that even though there is a recall for the passenger side airbag matching my car's vin number, they said that the recall only covers the passenger side front airbag and not the side airbag!

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.
