Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash

WARNING
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged
LATCH system may not properly

resulting in serious injury or
even death in a crash. To help
make sure the LATCH system is
working properly after a crash,
see your dealer to have the
system inspected and any
necessary replacements made
as soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system
and it was being used during a
crash, new LATCH system parts
may be needed.
New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at the
time of the crash.
