Air Bag Not Deploy Problems of Mazda MAZDA6 - part 1

Driving along a highway (left side of road) I crashed into large boulders of concrete scattered along the road that was caused by a previous accident. Traveling at 60 mph my vehicle launched off the ground slamming back down on all four tires. My vehicle then spun out of control crashing to the side guard rail impacting the side of the vehicle 2x's (right side of road) resulting in disabling damage to my vehicle. To my surprise the airbags did not deploy (particularly my side airbags). Later I learned that Mazda (manufacture) reported a recall for my vehicle relating to a potential malfunction of side airbags. Upon my discovery I learned that Mazda had learned of the defect around August 2019, but had not issued a recall notice on their website until January 1st 2020. My accident took place Dec 4th 2019, and I should also add that as of yet Mazda still has not made any direct attempts (email, mail, phone) to notify me of the potential hazard. Had it not been for my own inquiries I still may have not known that there was a safety issue within my vehicle especially when I needed it the most. I don't want to come off as being dramatic but that accident I was involved in could of cost my wife and I our lives. For that reason I am seeking to retrieve the event data records (edr) of my vehicle so that I may determine if the airbags failed to deploy as noted as a potential hazard or if the impact and damages where simply not substantial enough to cause the airbags to deploy. I asked my insurance company if they could assist me in gathering that data which they first claimed to be possible, but shortly after I was informed that they did not have the sophistication to do so, hence forwarding me to this website. Please advise on how I may retrieve that information, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I was driving to work at 733am and my brakes locked front wheel slid card did not stop and hit front vehicle and air bags did not deploy and cause me an accident which car was completely a loss and im still scare that the airbags did not work. Im still scare I did not cause myself a worse accident but im emotionally still shaken by the air bags.

I had taken my car to the dealership three times in 2012 because the airbag icon had come on. The 3rd time I had it in was in March of 2012 just before the warranty expired. At no time were they able to find the problem. With the more recent recall because of airbag problems, I asked if I could bring my car in again to be checked as the airbag icon had remained on most of the time. I took it in on 10/09/14. The problem was found, but Mazda would not cover the cost of over $1000. 00. I am on a fixed income and not able to pay for the repair. Mazda's solution was to remove or disengage my airbag. (I don't know which) I was told not to get into an accident as my airbag would not deploy. I do not feel this is a fair or safe solution to the problem. Can you help?.
