Description of the problem	I was driving 9pm on a city st rd, coming up on a mile light that was red. The roads were dry on a 5 lane rd. There was 1 car ahead of my car with their brake lights on . Although not noted on police report the car was stopped approx 5 to 7 car lengths prior to the red light. I had began to slow down but did not realize the driver ahead was not slowing down but stopped. I swerved to the right and as noted in pics below the drivers side of car hit the other drivers passenger back corner. I ended up in a parking lot on that corner. Other then the medical term coop to coop that also aided in my head injury, i also hit my head 2 times at my hairline on the steering wheel and then my left cheek. I was diagnosed and sustained a severe concussion/ brain trauma. I went to the emergency room twice for care of worsening symptoms and was incapacitated and out of work for about 6 wks. Which was still to fast to return, but i could not afford being on disability. Following the accident the car was taken to the city tow yard, and was assessed within a week by the ins adjuster as total loss. From there it was taken to a junk salvage business. Due to my incapacitation i had no means to look into concerns related to why the airbags did not deploy. I am a nurse practitioner that now has short term memory loss, migraines, and attention deficit due to the brain injury. I have no way of finding out if the airbag censors were defective or not because, although i'm attempting to track the car it's been difficult, and unsure of my rights to the car if i can track it down. The bigger surprise was that i received a recall notice on my 2018 gmc terrain just today, but have no answers on the 2017. Please help in anyway with what i should do. Sincerely *js

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.
