No accident or crash directly. The drivers seat belt retractor spring broke under completely normal operation. With no alternative transport I had to drive the car home. Obviously, if I had been in an accident, I might have been seriously injured. I contacted the dealer who can get a replacement but at a cost of 130 dollars. I asked if they could cover it which they declined.
