Consumer Description

"TAKATA RECALL". I WAS DRIVING AND STOPPED FOR A LIGHT DOWN A ROAD IN STATEN ISLAND, NY. AS I WAS WAITING, A DEER WAS CROSSING THE ROAD. SIMULTANEOUSLY, A BUS WAS NEXT TO ME AND SCARED THE DEER WHICH CAUSED IT TO RUN STRAIGHT INTO MY VEHICLE DOING A FAIR AMOUNT OF DAMAGE WHICH HAS SINCE BEEN FIXED. MY AIRBAG DID NOT INFLATE, EVEN THOUGH I WAS HIT PRETTY HARD. I WAS SHAKEN UP BUT SUFFERED NO MAJOR INJURIES. RECALL#15V284
