Human technicians should inspect vehicle seat belts along with their attachments after an accident that includes retractors and buckles and seat belt buckle support structures with slide bars (if present) in addition to shoulder belt position limiters (if provided) along with child seat tether attachment brackets (if used) and all attaching components. New seat belt assemblies should be installed unless an authorized mechanic determines both the physical condition and operational fitness of the current assemblies. Seat belt assemblies which were not utilized during the collision should undergo an inspection before new assemblies get installed if any wrong operation or damage is detected. The seat belt adapter points must get checked for both damage and distortion before new installation; you should redo the sheet metal when attaching areas show signs of damage. The front outboard passenger seat belt anchor in Excursion and F-Super Duty 250-550 CrewCab models should be checked for the Replace Belt label that might be concealed by a short plastic holder. Installation of a new seat belt assembly requires the visible presence of the colored Replace Belt label on the seat belt retractor. Conduct the Functional Test of seat belt systems for proper functioning as the final step.

Keep fingers and clothing away from movable parts to minimize the risk of injury.

Safety belt assemblies not in use during the collision should also be inspected, and new assemblies installed if any damage or incorrect operation is noted.

Begin by removing the cap from the safety belt buckle nut and then the safety belt buckle itself.

All safety belt assemblies, including retractors, buckles, front seat belt buckle support assemblies, shoulder belt height adjusters, child safety seat tether attachments, and attaching hardware.
