maybe not. mukhang wala naman occupant classification system mga airbags natin e. unlike sa US which has strict laws involving airbags specially child on front seats. kahit bata o matanda yung nakaupo sa harap magdedeploy parin siguro yung airbags natin.hehehe.

Passenger side ba yung airbag? Kailangan talaga recall yun sa akin.. hindi kasi mag deploy yun, kasi WALA..

Law na ba or ordinance lang that young passengers are not allowed to sit at the front passenger side, only sa second row?

Guess ko lang ito, which is based sa engineering standards

If there is a local engineering standard, yun ang susundin sa PH (ex. National Building Code at Phil Electrical Code). Kung wala, yung international code and/or best practices (ex. Fire Code at IEC)

Sa auto industry, meron na yatang mga laws (ex. Seat belt). Yung sa bawal ang kids sa front row, Im not sure kung law sya or ordinance. Pero for this specific case ng Santa Fe and Sonata recall, ang katumbas ng best practices siguro eh yung from the car manufacturer (si HMC) mismo
