Takata recall. I have been trying to get this remedied for over 2 years now, but the local dealership doesn't have the parts. I live in a tropical area so the chances of an airbag malfunction is greater

I was traveling down roswell road and a 2009 Chevy Suburban hit the right side of my vehicle. My car was in motion on a city street going straight. The Suburban was making a left out of a complex and did not see my car in front of him and hit my passenger side of the car. I have attached photos. Wondering why my airbags did not deploy based on the impact. Luckily, no one was sitting at the back of the car, though, my sister was on the passenger side.
