Replacing Seat
and
Restraint System
Parts
After a Crash
If
you’ve had a crash, do you need new belts?
After a very minor collision, nothing may be necessary.
But
if
the belts were stretched, as they would be
if
worn
during
a
more severe crash, then you need new belts.
If you ever see a label on the passenger’s safety belt that
says to replace the belt, be sure to do
so.
Then the new
belt will be there to help protect you in an accident. You
would see this label on the belt near the latch plate.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will need to have safety belt
or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs
may be necessary even if the belt wasn’t being used at
the time of the collision.
