necessary parts and a detailed instruction sheet. In the U.S., under the National Highway
Traffic Safety Administration’s rule, consumers will be authorized for airbag deactivation by
claiming they meet any of several criteria. Passenger airbag deactivation must not be
installed without the vehicle owner presenting the NHTSA authorization letter. For more
information concerning the authorization process and/or the authorization letter call
