My car has an open recall for airbags. I went to local honda dealer and they refused to fix because my passenger airbag has deployed. I'm not sure whether that's reason that they will not fix this airbag for the recall? Thanks.

Takata recall while i was driving home (vehicle in motion) on paseo padre boulevard in fremont california, my airbags on the right side of the vehicle deployed unexpectedly and for no apparent reason. I was not involved in any accident that would trigger airbags to deploy. I believe the airbags deployed because they have some defective parts. I continue trying to resolve the issue with honda and they ignore me.
