If the LATCH system was being used during a
more severe crash, then you may need new
LATCH system parts.
If safety belts or built-in child restraint harness
straps are cut or damaged, replace them. Collision
damage also may mean you will need to have
safety belt, built-in child restraint, LATCH system
or seat parts repaired or replaced. New parts
and repairs may be necessary even if the safety
belt, built-in child restraint or LATCH system
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 retractor assemblies. Be sure to do so.
Then the new retractor assemblies 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 retractor
assemblies, even if the frontal airbags have not
deployed. The driver and front passenger’s safety
belt retractor 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 234.
