Interesting. Wonder if there's any recourse for my 2007 ??

At 35mph, a lot more than the just the airbag can release metal fragments.
I wonder what injuries he would have gotten without an airbag?
Isn't an airbag supposed to be deployed with abrupt force?

"The NHTSA complaint about the August accident in North Carolina said the Mustang “crashed into the rear end of another vehicle” at about 35 miles per hour.

“The air bag deployed with abrupt force and a metal fragment dislodged, causing injury to the driver’s leg, which required medical attention,” the complaint said."

I've had the airbag in my '02 F150 come out (when I owned it for 2 weeks) when I t boned a women that pulled out in front of me ~ 40 mph. I was wearing my seat belt so other than airbag just being there in case, it sticks badly.
