Right side passenger side curtain air bags deployed automatically when front left tire failed. I have read of later model years having issues with unintended side curtain deployment. I have even read of complaints about erratic deployment in 2006 models in NHTSA files. There was no collision, only a chuck hole which prompted the tire failure. I was driving on a highway near athens, Ohio. Hit an unavoidable pothole, the tire blew out immediately, the right side air curtains deployed.
