Airbag deployed while idling in driveway -740 Wagon 1992 700

What's really, really weird is that this bag blew EXACTLY one year to the day and the hour after the car suffered a deployment in a crash. The company that repaired the car replaced the airbag and some other parts, but the car hasn't been right, and recently the horn would sound when going around left corners (intermittently). Has anyone else heard of anything this strange? My daughter was driving, actually parked at a friend's house, came out and started the car, and it blew. Really freaked her out and scratched up her face, too.
I really hate this, but I suspect the replacement procedure may have missed some steps and caused the computer to re-trigger exactly one year later.

Too weird, huh? Any insights appreciated. I've a feeling I'm going to eat whatever this costs, and I'm not too happy as I've already paid thousands to fix it the first time.
