TAKATA RECALL. I GOT INTO MY CAR TO LEAVE. I REACHED BACK FOR MY SEAT BELT AND THE AIRBAG INSIDE THE DRIVERS SEAT DEPLOYED. MY CAR WAS NOT IN MOTION, I WAS SITTING IN A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR WAS NOT IMPACTED BY ANYTHING. THE AIRBAG STRUCK ME ON THE LEFT SIDE AND I GOT OUT OF THE CAR AND WENT INSIDE TO THE ER BECAUSE I WAS ALREADY AT THE HOSPITAL FOR A REGULAR APPOINTMENT. I DID NOT SIT BACK HARD IN THE SEAT, I SIMPLY REACHED BACK FOR MY SEAT BELT AND THE AIRBAG DEPLOYED FROM WITHIN THE DRIVERS SEAT, NOT THE SIDE OF THE CAR.
