Takata recall I was dropping my daughter off at the babysitters house on my way to a funeral around 10:30 on Sunday October 1, 2016. I pulled out the babysitters driveway and proceeded towards berkshire street. My car was in motion and before I made it to the corner my passenger side airbag burst open my dashboard opened all the way across to driver's side. My radio broke off my buttons flew off the dash and I couldn't tell whether it was dust or smoke from the airbag. I wasn't hurt but when I inhale my chest hurt and my asthma flared up and my right ear is irritated. Also my windshield is cracked on the passenger side. I didn't hit a bump or car it's smooth pavement I was confused as to what caused it.
