While driving, the vehicle struck a pot hole, and the passenger's side air bag deployed. However, the driver's seat belt did not lock, and passenger struck his face on the steering wheel. The passenger air bag did not open and the check engine and the air bag light remained on.

Erratic operation of air bag depoyment when vehicle bumped a curve (hard enough to bend the front rim). Passenger's side depoyed properly, but driver's side came out and just hung down steering wheel. Dealer was notified. Feel free to provide any further details on this matter.
