It is possible the failure of the airbag to deploy could give rise to a claim by you. However, added details are necessary to determine whether there was a manufacturing, design or installation defect that was the cause. Or, something else such as improper maintenance by someone other than the manufacturer could have been the cause. Act quickly because there will be a time limit in your state to protect your rights.
All the details need to be investigated. See a local attorney skilled in strict product liability and personal injury litigation.

You need a lawyer. Check with a lawyer in your locale to discuss more of the details. Good luck to you. God bless.
