Takata inflators my air bag light has been on for many months. We do not have the resources to take it in to be looked at. I received a card in the mail this morning indicating that my vehicle may be subject to the recall however, according to the VIN it doesn't seem so. Although it is a 2005, the vehicle is still in great running condition. Please advise what I can do to have this checked.

On 7-20-2011, I was driving about 35 mph on a residential road around 1:30 P.M. a large vehicle in front of me, put on his left blinker & started to stop, I braked but still rear ended it. My air bag did not inflate, just the seat belt worked. I chipped a tooth on the steering wheel, got whiplash in my neck. Also my right breast developed a hematoma which grew larger every week, it was very painful, had to have tests to find out what the lump in breast was. The hematoma had to be drained by a doctor w/ driving about 35 mph on a residential street on 7-20-2011 @ 2:00 P.M. when a largesuv put on his blinker & started to stop, I braked but still rear ended him. The air bag did not inflate, just the seat belt worked. I chipped my front tooth on the steering wheel, got a hematoma in my right breast(very painful) & whiplash in my neck. Had to go for tests to find out what the lump in breast was. Then doctor had to drain it via ultrasound. Went to P.T. for approx. 8 months for back & neck. To date: Had emergency surgery w/a cervical Fusion( have a plate & 4 screws in neck), then back surgery in lumbar area, (bones in spine pressing on nerves to legs, painful to walk). My car was totaled, the SUV just had a broken rear window, I was taken to hospital for xrays to make sure I did not have any fractures. I believe the air bag should have inflated, I am 5'3", weigh 110 lbs. I have the insurance forms& other paperwork re:accident. I need your help, too many injuries that could have been prevented by the airbag.thank you.
