ON7/30/18 I was exiting a park lot taking a right turn at approximately 5 to 10 mph as I attempted to steer straight my steering wheel became freewheeling as I was not able to correct its direction, I hit a curb. At this point I felt and heard a loud bang, which turned out to be the airbag deploying. I received several lacerations and contusions almond with a head injury /concussion. After I had vehicle towed to Ford dealer ship did I become aware that there had bad a recall on the steering shaft and bearing failure. At no time did I ever receive any correspondence indicating a recall. I'm very confused as to how an air bag would deploy with out any contact with any object and at such a slow speed.
