How to Check the Production Date of Seat Belts?
1 Answers
Seat belt production dates can be found on the vehicle's certificate of conformity and the vehicle's nameplate. You can also submit the VIN code to the manufacturer for inquiry. Below is relevant information: 1. Some seat belts have the date directly printed, making it very obvious and easy to identify. However, others may have cluttered labels with only English text, making it difficult to spot at a glance. In such cases, if you see the letters "MFD-DATE," the following information is the production date, as "MFD-DATE" stands for "Manufacturing Date." 2. If "MFD-DATE" is followed by a combination of letters and numbers, it indicates the use of a 17-digit coding rule, which is the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The 10th digit of the VIN is related to the date, following a 30-year cycle.
