Mercedes-Benz Passenger A22386052019051 Seat Belt Buckle

Description

The Mercedes‑Benz Passenger seat belt buckle (MPN A22386052019051) secures the passenger seat belt by engaging the locking mechanism. It is installed in passenger cars'' seat belt systems to provide a reliable and quick release during emergencies. With a compact size of 50 × 100 × 230 mm, it delivers a lightweight, durable solution that meets German engineering standards.

Key Features & Benefits

It basically does one thing—securely latches onto the tongue of the seat belt to hold you safely in your seat. Sounds simple, right? But inside, there’s a little mechanism with a spring – loaded pawl that engages. That pawl locks when the belt is pulled tight and releases when you press the release button. Some buckles also have sensors that work with your car’s airbag system, telling it when the belt is fastened. It’s a key part of your car’s passive safety system. Everything works together—the belt webbing, the buckle, the anchors—to spread the force of a collision across your chest and hips, preventing you from hitting the interior of the car or being ejected. It’s designed to work with the seatbelt webbing and the retractor mechanism to keep you contained and protected.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

Well, it’s safety, plain and simple. Without a functioning buckle, your seat belt isn't doing its job. You’ll notice if it’s not latching properly, or if it feels loose, or if the release button is sticky. Even a small problem can mean the buckle won't hold during a crash, which is obviously a serious concern. A damaged or worn buckle is a safety risk, and should be replaced. You can find a good replacement at places like Fixparts Online, they usually have a wide range of options. It’s a relatively inexpensive part, and definitely worth keeping in good working order for your safety and the safety of your passengers.
