I know that Honda (and others) had a safety recall of Takata seatbelts where the dealerships had to replace them. I don't know if they would warrant them or not, although it seems like a good idea, considering the liability issues and how flimsy the seatbelt latches seem to be. Yeah, I replaced some seatbelts in my 90 Carat. Both of the rear-facing belts were $94 each for the latch part and about $70 for the belt / reel part. The latch part of the regular bench seats are only about $30 from the dealership. I don't know how the previous owners broke all of these seatbelts because it didn't look like they ever used them. I grumbled about the cost, but my children are worth it -- and they were easy to change.
