| Description of the problem | Entering into a right turn lane the vehicle may have grazed a curb. Immediate explosion & both right side air bags blew causing minor injuries to passengers. The car is new, approx. 985 miles and the tires had been replaced that morning with michelins under a tire exchange program. There is no external body damage to the vehicle, however the rear axle appears to be bent. Why would air bags deploy by bumping a curb at low speed? |
