Outer Belt, Black

Safety inspections followed by seat belt repairs should be conducted right after an accident. Great collision severity that activated automatic restraint equipment including air bags and pretensioners in seat belts requires complete replacement of the seat belts. All belt systems for adults and the ones holding child restraints along with infant carriers and booster seats are included in the necessary inspections and replacements. This includes both LATCH system and top tether anchorages. Every component of the seat belt system should be replaced when it shows wear or tear or damage affecting adult seat belts and built-in child restraints and the LATCH system components. A seat belt system replacement is required when either "REPLACE" or "CAUTION" text is visible with a yellow tag present. However, do not replace the system from seeing the child seat caution label. All components used in infant carrier and child restraint installation must be replaced when the belt system condition remains unclear. You should change the complete seat belt system in collision-involved vehicles instead of replacing singular components since the system consists of buckle, guide, retractor assembly, latch, and webbing material. Automated safety systems do not need replacement after a light accident unless mechanical components show signs of tearing or wear or clear damages.

No, do not replace it in that case.

Secure the retractor with the retaining bolt, tightening it to 26 N.m (19 lb ft).
