When And Why This Part Fails
- Activation During Accident: Pyro-tensioners Are Single-Use — The Most Common Cause Of Replacement Is Deployment During A Collision.
- Wear And Contamination: Fraying, Cuts Or Dirt In The Webbing Can Compromise Locking Performance Over Time.
- Retractor Failure: Retraction Or Locking Mechanism Can Jam Due To Corrosion, Debris, Or Mechanical Wear.
- Electrical Faults: Wiring Or Connector Damage Related To The Pretensioner Circuit May Cause Warning Lights And Require Replacement.
