Takata recall - 2011 Mazda 6 I was the passenger in a collision in November 2015 where the 2011 Mazda 6 was T-boned on the driver's side by another vehicle (Ford Fusion), which made the Mazda 6 spin several times, hop a curb, and deploy the airbags. As the passenger (front seat) I suffered injuries caused by the takata airbags and required going to the hospital following the collision. Injuries included at least three fractured/broken ribs and major bruising on my right knee. Injuries took over 6 months to heal, taking heavy doses of pain killers just to manage the pain. Lingering effects from this collision can still be felt 7 months later. The driver did not sustain major injuries aside from scrapes and a few bruises. Police reports determined that the driver of the Ford Fusion was responsible for the collision and was charged with careless/reckless driving. That driver failed to stop/yield in their turning lane before driving straight into the Mazda 6. the Mazda 6 was declared totaled by insurance. The Mazda 6 was added to the takata airbag recall in May 2016, approximately 6 months after the accident had occurred.
