If your vehicle has the LATCH system and it was being
used during a more severe crash, you may need
new LATCH system parts.
If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will need to have LATCH
system (if equipped), safety belt or seat parts repaired or
replaced. New parts and repairs may be necessary
even if the belt or LATCH system (if equipped) was not
being used at the time of the collision.
If an airbag inflates, you will need to replace airbag
system parts. See the part on the airbag system earlier
in this section.
If the frontal airbags inflate, you will also need to
replace the driver’s and right front passenger’s safety
belt buckle assembly. Be sure to do so. Then the
new buckle assembly will be there to help protect you in
a collision.
After a crash you may need to replace the driver and
front passenger’s safety belt buckle assemblies, even if
the frontal airbags have not deployed. The driver and
front passenger’s safety belt buckle assemblies contain
the safety belt pretensioners. Have your safety belt
pretensioners checked if your vehicle has been
in a collision, or if your airbag readiness light stays on
after you start your vehicle or while you are driving.
See Airbag Readiness Light on page 3-34.
