| Description of the problem | My sister accidentally ran into the back of a box truck on 7/2/2020 and the knee airbag in her toyota 2014 rav4 deployed. The airbag or cover caused major gashes in her leg and she is now in the hospital and will need to have skin grafts. There is a police report that is not yet ready. I am attaching pictures of the leg. I have never seen damage like this caused by airbag and wondering if there is some type of issues with knee airbags? |
