"takata recall" I was driving to work around 10:30 am in my 2009 mercedes benz c300 enjoying the commute. As I approached the stop light.....blank!!!! I lastly remember breaking ....to open my watering eyes to see that I hit another vehicle and don't recall anything at all. As I get up in realized that my head hurts and there was a small tear in the steering wheel as a small portion of the bag deployed but not fully.. It appeared to be a faulty bag that has caused this serious inconvenience.
