Replacing 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 driver’s
or
the right front
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 a collision. You would see
this
label on
the belt near the door opening.
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.
If an air bag inflates, you’ll need to replace air bag
system parts. See the part on the air bag system ear
in this section.
