Your front passenger airbag's active headrest deployed while your vehicle was parked and not in an accident. This is unexpected behavior that suggests a malfunction in the airbag system's deployment sensors or wiring. This issue should be inspected by a technician to diagnose whether the airbag control module or sensor connections are faulty and need repair or replacement.

Driver side headrest has deployed, and there was no warning or notification prior to this happening. I should not have to pay hundreds of dollars on a replacement if clips or what may it be to hold device together are faulty.
