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
need
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.
Q:
What’s wrong with this?
A:
The belt is torn.
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.
