Replacing Safety Belts After A Crash - Buick 1993 Century Owner's Manual

Replacing Safety Belts 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 belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will have to have safety belt
parts, like the retractor, replaced or anchorage locations
repaired-even if the belt wasn't being used at the time of
the collision.
