Replacing LATCH System
Parts After a Crash

WARNING
A crash can damage the LATCH
system in the vehicle. A damaged

sure the LATCH system is
working properly after a crash,
see your dealer to have the
system inspected and any
necessary replacements made as
soon as possible.
If the vehicle has the LATCH system

New parts and repairs may be
necessary even if the LATCH
system was not being used at the
time of the crash.
