Hyundai i40 Seat Belt Replacement Parts

The Hyundai i40 was sold in the UK from 2011 to 2019 as a single generation, with a facelift introduced in 2015 that brought updated interior trim and minor styling changes. Seat belts from pre-facelift cars (2011–2015) and post-facelift cars (2015–2019) may differ in anchor points, buckle design, or pretensioner specification, so crossing that 2015 boundary is not a straightforward swap. Name the exact year and registration of your car when contacting a breaker, and ask them to confirm the part is from the same facelift phase as yours before buying.

The i40 was offered in the UK in trim levels including S, SE, Active, Premium, and Premium SE, and while the seat belt buckle and reel mechanism are primarily generation- and position-specific, higher trims sometimes featured different seat and belt anchorage configurations to suit upgraded seating. In most cases the core belt assembly is shared across trims, but there may be cosmetic differences such as webbing colour or trim surround finish if you are mixing trim levels. Confirm with the breaker that the part came from the same trim tier as yours if a clean visual match matters, but for function alone the trim boundary is less critical than year and side.

Yes, body style can affect rear seat belt routing, anchor points, and C-pillar or D-pillar mounting positions, so a seat belt from an i40 saloon and one from an i40 estate (Tourer) are not necessarily interchangeable, particularly for rear positions. Always tell your breaker whether your car is the saloon or the Tourer so they can pull the belt from a matching body style.

No — engine size and fuel type have no bearing on seat belt fitment for the i40; the belt is matched by generation, facelift phase, body style, seating position, and side (NS nearside or OS offside). You can disregard engine details entirely when specifying this part to a breaker.

Seat belts with pyrotechnic pretensioners are safety-critical components — they are single-use devices that deploy in a collision and cannot be reset, so any belt sourced from a car that has been in an accident where the pretensioner fired must not be reused. Fitting a pretensioner seat belt also involves the SRS system, so professional installation by a qualified technician is strongly recommended rather than a DIY fit. Ask the breaker to confirm the belt has never been deployed and, because pretensioner variants can differ, confirm compatibility with your specific SRS system against your registration before purchasing.

A 2013 i40 is a pre-facelift car, while a 2016 car falls in the post-facelift range introduced in 2015, meaning there is a generation boundary between the two. Seat belt anchor points, buckle design, or pretensioner specification may have changed across that facelift, so this is not a confirmed like-for-like swap. Give both registration numbers to the breaker and ask them to check the part numbers or physically compare the components before you commit to buying.
