I was driving the vehicle in the early morning still dark on a state road and raining very hard could not see out the windshield. I believe i hit a pot hole. That's when the side curtain deployed on the right side causing damage to the headliner and a pillar post. Unknown why it went off. I know there's a recall for the front airbags and some forums stated this has happened to them as well. I inspected the vehicle and i could not see any other damage to the vehicle.
