A belt that retracts is not proof that every part of the restraint assembly is suitable for continued use after a collision. The repair requirements depend on the vehicle and incident.
How to approach the assessment
Tell the repairer which seats were occupied and whether any pretensioners or airbags operated. Do not judge the system only by pulling the belt by hand. The qualified collision repairer should apply the relevant inspection and replacement criteria.
Useful details to send
- Occupied seating positions.
- Deployment information.
- Collision report and parts already replaced.
Arrange the right assessment
This guide does not establish that a vehicle is safe to use. Restraint repairs need qualified assessment and the correct manufacturer instructions. A module service does not replace required component repairs or vehicle-level verification.
Ask AXION about your repair or read our SRS module assessment information. Workshop visits are by appointment in Didcot. Confirm suitability before posting any removed module.
