stevenva Posted September 25, 2015 Share Posted September 25, 2015 I've read on a S.O.A. site that seatbelts have a lifetime warranty. Sounds too good to be true. My drivers side is fraying. Once the fraying started, it's rapidly deteriorating. Has anyone on this forum just gone to the dealer and had it swapped out for free, no problems or hassles? I don't want to buy a replacement, (used probably), only to find out I could get a new free one from the dealer under warranty.

Thomistopheles Posted September 29, 2015 Share Posted September 29, 2015 Shouldn't need anything. Told them I needed a belt replaced under warranty and scheduled it, as simple as it gets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elislider Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 they have a date cutoff on some models, probably depending on if they can get the parts still. somewhere in the early-mid 90s theyll stop warrantying the seatbelts. but if your car is newer than that, anything that looks like a fault or excess wear and tear should be covered, such as belts that dont retract anymore, too much fraying, etc NOTE: stuff that looks like intentional damage such as dog chew marks or slice marks from a knife are probably not covered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
