This could be the result of a faulty design, manufacturing errors like improper testing, or failures in the software or calibration. Some vehicles may be lacking the right amount of sensors because of manufacturers who value profit over safety. Defective Electrical Components. If the parts are poorly designed or installed improperly, this may result in your airbags not deploying correctly.
Airbag Module Defects. Manufacturing errors, improper quality control, and inherent design issues could all be at fault. Severed Wiring. Depending on the severity of the collision and the location of the routed wires controlling the airbag system, the wires could potentially be severed upon impact, rendering the airbags useless.

This can happen when frontal airbags do not fire in certain types of rollover collisions, or during side or rear impact crashes. As with any other car part, it is possible for airbag sensors to fail to correctly detect impact or deploy the airbag, as the result of improper design, testing or installation of sensors, or because of software failure.
Defective electrical components or severed wiring can interfere with the impact signal communication between sensors and airbags. This is often found to be the cause when one airbag fails to deploy even when the other one functions properly.
Defects in the airbag module itself could also prevent an airbag from firing when it should, even if the signal is adequately transferred. In used vehicles, it is possible that the airbag may not have been replaced after a previous crash. It is recommended that airbags always be replaced after a deployment. Generally, your airbags should deploy in any collision in which a driver or passenger would suffer injuries airbags are designed to prevent, including head, neck, and spine injuries.
