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 a right front 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 heed 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 your seat adjuster won't work after a crash, the special
part of the safety belt that goes through the seat to the
adjuster may need to be replaced.
