Seat assemblies for motor vehicles and methods for fabricating such seat assemblies are provided. In one example, a seat assembly for a motor vehicle includes a seat frame and a seat back panel that is coupled to the seat frame. The seat back panel has a frangible tear seam that defines an integrated airbag door. An airbag is disposed between the seat frame and the seat back panel adjacent to the integrated airbag door. The airbag inflates during deployment. The integrated airbag door is configured to open during deployment to allow the airbag to inflate outside of the seat back panel.
