Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

This caused (for some reason) the passenger side airbag on the door (the side airbag) to deploy. When it deployed, it tore loose a strip of decorative metal on the interior. The strip was about 2-3 feet long and had between 3 and 5 1 bolts protruding from it. The metal strip hit the passenger on the arm and caused an abrasion. …”
