Answer:
Frontal airbags have been standard in all passenger vehicles since model year 1998 and in SUVs, trucks, and vans since model year 1999. Currently, it is illegal for dealers to disable airbags. However, the agency may grant exemptions on a case-by-case basis if it determines that the exemption aligns with safety standards.
