i was in a motor vehicle accident on a highway, with speeds greater than 50mph. A car struck my driver side door. My car, spun, with my head hitting the driver side door top trim. Air bags did not deploy.
I received notification that my vehicle had a recall for related to emissions. At the dealership for repair, I was also informed of a second recall concerning airbags and they may no deploy if needed. The emissions recall was completed however the airbag recall procedure could not be performed due to what the technician described as a "weak" battery in my vehicle. If my vehicle’s battery was insufficient for completing the recall, I believe it is the dealership's responsibility to have the necessary tools, such as a service battery, to perform recall-related repairs. My understanding is that all recall procedures are to be carried out at no cost to the consumer, yet Bill Knight Ford is asking me to pay up wards of $200 to address the battery issue before the recall can be completed. Additionally, after checking the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website with my VIN, I did not find any other recalls listed. With this in mind, I have a few questions: Could you confirm whether there are any open recalls for my vehicle, particularly regarding the airbags? Am I correct in assuming that I am not responsible for ensuring my car is "ready" for recall procedures, such as replacing the battery? If there is an open airbag recall, how can I ensure the dealership completes the necessary repairs at no cost to me? I appreciate your time and assistance in this matter and look forward to your response. Below, I have included my vehicle and dealership information for your reference.

Another car ran a red light and I unfortunately tboned them with the front of my vehicle causing my car to be totaled. Because my airbags did not go off I was thrown into the window causing a head injury and an ambulance ride to the hospital. I have yet to have it be inspected to see if there were airbags or if there was a faulty issue with them. Police stated to me that they could not believe the airbags did not go off from the crash. The vehicle has been inspected by insurance for auto damage but not an in depth look to see if there was an issue with the airbags. There were no warning lamps or messages about the airbags.
