“Takata recall faulty airbag deployment during minor accident causing no damage to vehicle. Impact occured from front of vehicle and air bags deployed after vehicle was at complete stop after accident causing nose damage and burn and bruise on left arm. Irregular deployment of air bags because the passenger air bag as well as the steering wheel air bag deployed. No one was seated on passenger side and the driver side vehicle side airbag where I was seated did not deploy.”

Issue: when passenger is in seat, airbag and seat belt light comes on, with warning on the display that there is a restraint system malfunction.
