Safety depends on inspecting and replacing seat belts after a crash event. All seat belt systems that encountered serious collisions requiring automatic safety system activations need replacement together with built-in automatic restraint devices like air bags and seat belt pretensioners. The replacement of all seat belt systems and failure-prone components affects adult occupancies as well as child restraint devices which cover LATCH system components and top tether anchorages.
