Description
Left front seat belt designed for the driver’s side of the Peugeot 607. This replacement belt is supplied in black (color code FXX) and is commonly identified by the product codes 96491283XX and 8974CH. It’s intended for professional workshops and DIY motorists who search by part number for a direct fit.
Function And Common Faults
The seat belt restrains the occupant and works together with the retractor, locking mechanism and buckle to provide safety in sudden deceleration or collisions. Common reasons for replacement include frayed or cut webbing, failure of the retractor or locking mechanism, activation of a pretensioner during an accident, contamination or corrosion of mounting hardware, and deteriorated stitching.
Replacement And Installation Notes
Installation should be performed by a qualified technician or an experienced DIYer comfortable with vehicle safety systems. Basic replacement steps:
- Disconnect the vehicle battery and wait to ensure airbag systems are inactive.
- Remove interior trim on the B-pillar to expose the retractor and anchor bolts.
- Unbolt the lower anchor and the retractor unit; transfer any mounts or guides if required.
- Fit the new belt assembly and tighten bolts to the manufacturer’s torque specifications.
- Reinstall trim and reconnect the battery; check belt retraction, locking action and buckle engagement.
Always follow manufacturer procedures for SRS/airbag safety and torque values. If the belt has been involved in an accident or the pretensioner has activated, replacement is mandatory.
Why Replace This Part
Seat belts do not have a fixed service interval but must be replaced if they show visible damage, fail to retract, lock improperly, or have been deployed in a collision. Replacing a worn or damaged belt restores occupant protection and ensures compliance with safety standards.
