[s-cars] Passenger Air Bag 1992 retrofit?

[Ernest Seow]

That comes from the data after the government looked into it, but back then, 
it wasn't published or implemented. Same goes for the automatic upper 
seatbelts with the manual lower belt. Everybody ignored the lower lap belt, 
but most injuries in this system came from not wearing the lower belt. Some 
vehicles came with no warning about airbags, and then afterward, they had to 
recall vehicles and install sunvisors with the Airbag warnings published on 
them.
Regards,
Ernest
