The company might be responsible.  But what damages have you suffered?  The available damages in accident cases generally are: lost wages, medical bills, and pain and suffering.  You don't have those.  Personal injury lawyers only accept cases on contingency that involve injuries, because those are the only cases that involve payment.  You may have some sort of breach of contract or warranty claim against the company, but pursuing that sort of case would require you to hire your own attorney, and pay them.  My guess is that the damages available (like repairing the air bag) wouldn't justify you spending money on a lawyer.  Have you tried contacting the company and asking them to repair the air bag?

" I wasn't injured".....that essentially eliminates any legal consiuderation of a contingent fee case. So unless you are willing topay legal fees out of pocket as a matter of principle, and it would be a lot of fees, you don't have a viable legal case.
