| Description of the problem | On a 2013 car accident. I along with 2 other passengers experienced a frontal collision ,with an oncoming vehicle ,who ran a red light. Upon impact ,the airbag deployed. The force from the airbag was so severe,it forced my head back ,hitting(bruising) the passenger seated behind me. I momentarily blacked out,to be awoken by the burning sensation of my arm. Some kind of solvent or kind of fuel cell to deploy the bag,caught fire and was burning my right arm. Though the fire was only contained on my arm,and thankful it had not spread we were treated for trauma,myself for trauma and 2nd degree burns at the er. We also show reports from the attending physician and police reports,decribing the accident. We had tried to contact honda at the time,and checked if there was a recall was issued. Though honda said that no recalls for that model at the time..... You can only guess my surprise,when i got a recall for the airbag. Today.... Updated 10/07/14 *bf updated 5/13/2015 *js |
