SEATS AND RESTRAINT SYSTEMS Replacing Restraint System Parts After a Crash WARNING A crash can damage the restraint systems in your vehicle. A damaged restraint system may not properly protect the person using it, resulting in serious injury or even death in a crash. To help make sure your restraint systems are working properly after a crash, have them inspected and any necessary replacements made as soon as possible. If you've had a crash, do you need new belts or LATCH system parts? If belts are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision damage also may mean you will need to have LATCH system, safety belt or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts and repairs may be necessary even if the belt or LATCH system wasn't being used at the time of the collision. If the frontal air bags inflate, you will also need to replace the driver's and right front passenger's safety belt pretensioners and safety belts. Be sure to do so. Then the new pretensioners and safety belts will be there to help protect you in a collision. If your vehicle is equipped with side air bags, the front seat assembly must be replaced after the side air bag has been deployed. If an air bag inflates, you'll need to replace air bag system parts. 1-35
