If any safety belt assembly is damaged, does not operate correctly or does not pass all of the Functional Tests in the Diagnosis and Testing portion, a new
safety belt assembly must be installed. If any safety belt assembly attaching areas are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal must be restored to its
original structural integrity and new safety belt assembly and attaching hardware must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt assemblies and
attaching hardware may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
After any crash that results in deployment of the driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt pretensioners, new driver and/or front outboard
passenger safety belt systems (including retractors, buckles and height adjusters) must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt systems increases the
risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
NOTICE: Rear outboard safety belt retractors are not interchangeable. Each safety belt retractor is equipped with a locator pin unique to that
seating position, and it cannot be installed in any other location. Do not remove or alter the locator pin in any way when installing the safety
belt retractor or the safety belt retractor will not function as intended.
