Replacing Safety Belts After A Crash - GMC 1999 Sierra 1500 Pickup 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.
Q: What's wrong with this?

APl25004
A: The belt is torn.
CAUTION
A
Torn or frayed belts may not protect you in a crash. They can rip
apart under impact forces. If a belt is torn or frayed, get a new one
right away.
aefore replacing any safety belt, see your dealer for the correct part number.
You'll need the model year and model number for your vehicle. The model
year is on your title and registration. And you can find the model number on
the certificationhire label on the rear edge
of the driver's door.
