Must the seat belt be replaced if the airbag deploys?

If the airbag deploys, the seat belt must be replaced. Introduction to Airbags: After an airbag has deployed, it must be replaced. When installing a new airbag, special attention must be paid: if the collision sensor is integrated within the computer board, the computer board must be replaced along with it; if the sensor is external to the computer board, it must also be replaced separately to prevent accidental deployment. Since airbags are designed to work in conjunction with seat belts, seat belts equipped with pretensioners must also be replaced. Precautions for Airbag Use: Airbags must be used together with seat belts. Failure to fasten the seat belt properly may result in severe injury or even death during a collision, even with an airbag present. Maintain an appropriate distance from the airbag while seated. Do not place objects in front of, above, or near the airbag, as these items may obstruct the airbag's inflation or be ejected during an emergency, increasing the risk of injury. To ensure that airbags function effectively as a safety measure, drivers and passengers must develop good habits, such as maintaining a safe distance between the chest and the steering wheel.
