bracket assemblies (if equipped), LATCH child seat
tether anchors and lower anchors (if equipped), and
attaching hardware, should be inspected after a
collision. Ford Motor Company recommends that all
safety belt assemblies used in vehicles involved in a
collision be replaced. However, if the collision was
minor and a qualified technician finds that the belts
do not show damage and continue to operate
properly, they do not need to be replaced. Safety
belt assemblies not in use during a collision should
also be inspected and replaced if either damage or
improper operation is noted.

Failure to inspect and if necessary replace
the safety belt assembly under the above

conditions could result in severe personal injuries
in the event of a collision.

Refer to Cleaning and maintaining the safety
belts
in the Cleaning chapter.
