If it weren't the government requiring it, it would defy belief. "This fall, Toyota will voluntarily recall nearly 160,000 Toyota Tundra pickups so that they can be made less safe for children riding in the front seat."

Toyota erred badly by thinking that NHTSA bureaucrats would do anything besides follow the letter of every rule, no matter how little they may make sense.
