Description of the problem	I was driving to work on march 26, 2011 on the freeway and it was early and a clear day. I was on the highway and out of no where i heard a loud explosion sound and was completely freaked out. My right ear was ringing and i started to smell smoke. I looked to my right side and the passenger side airbag had exploded out. It wasn't even inflated and there was no one sitting on the seat thankfully. But since no one was on the seat the airbags should have been off, the honda element has a sensor on the seat. I called the honda customer service department and they told me i was responsible for the problem. That i should take my vehicle to a honda dealership and report it to my insurance so that they can take care of it for me.

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.
