Buckle, Gray

A safety inspection and seat belt repair becomes necessary after a collision occurs. All seat belts involved in severe collisions must receive immediate replacement because the automatic system components have already activated. All seat belt systems for adults together with installations securing child restraints, infant carriers and booster seats including LATCH system and top tether anchorages need replacement. All seat belt systems require replacement of torn or worn or damaged components for adult belts together with built-in child restraints and LATCH system parts. The seat belt system must receive replacement when "REPLACE" or "CAUTION" appear or if there exists a yellow tag. Nevertheless, avoid making a replacement solely due to a visible child seat caution label. A seat belt system must receive replacement whenever there exists doubt regarding its condition and the replacement must cover the complete set of components which include the adult seat belt system and built-in child restraint system and LATCH system components. When dealing with vehicles involved in collisions the seat belt system needs complete replacement because it requires replacements of the buckle and guide together with the retractor assembly and latch and webbing material. Following minor collisions without automatic restraint deployments the seat belts only need replacement if tears or damage or signs of wear are observed.

The words "REPLACE" or "CAUTION" are visible, or if a yellow tag is present.

It is crucial to ensure safety.
