More details to this question:
On 2-lane road making a legal passing maneuver in my car and the vehicle in front of me that I was passing turns left in front of me causing me to hit their rear driver side corner. Sheriff's report found the other driver at fault for not signaling. My airbags did not deploy when I collided at roughly 55-60 mph. Luckily, I have only suffered injury to my left hand and having the army hospital check it out. Do I have a case against the manufacturer for the bags not deploying.

Your recovery against anybody is limited by the damages you suffered (your injuries). Therefore, even if you technically may be able to make a legal claim against the manufacturer, the cost of bringing that claim would greatly outweigh your potential recovery.
