Front Seat Belt Buckle (Right) for BYD Yuan Pro, OE 12181041-00

It is. The side is right, and sides on our listings are read as you sit in the car looking forward, so this one serves the right front seat regardless of where the steering wheel sits. It will not do duty on the other side, because the left front buckle is a different part with its own OE number. Work it out on the car rather than from memory. Read the marking on the stalk of the buckle you are replacing, and if it comes back as 12181041-00 you are on the correct listing.

That may still be this part. Either marking identifies the right front buckle on this page. Look on the stalk and on the label at its base, since one is often legible when the other has worn. A reference that matches neither of ours is worth querying rather than ignoring, because the two front buckles differ by side and the numbers are close to each other. Send the marking you have found to us on the quote route and we will confirm it.

We would say no. Our records flag this item as safety critical, and it belongs to the seat belt and pretensioner group rather than to ordinary interior trim. The anchorage and the wiring that runs to the buckle both affect how the restraint system performs in a collision, and neither is something to judge by eye. Use a qualified technician, and ask them to check that no belt warning or restraint fault remains once the work is done. Buy the part here and arrange the labour separately so the car is off the road once only.

Allow 8 to 25 days for delivery, counted from your order to your door. The packaging details are shown on this page. The shipping cost for your country is shown on this page and confirmed at checkout before you pay. Before you order, check the number on your old part against OE 12181041-00. If anything about the timing matters for a booked repair, ask through the quote route on this page.

Metal is the buckle's construction. That is the relevant fact for a restraint part, since the buckle body and its anchorage carry the load rather than any cosmetic covering. Compare the images on this page with the buckle in your car and match the mounting foot and the connector shape before you order.

Black is the colour for it, and it ships in that finish with no preparation needed at your end. The part mounts inside the car beside the right front seat, so it is in plain view once fitted and the finish is worth checking against your own trim using the images on this page. We would not recommend painting or coating a restraint component to match anything. If the buckle in your car is a different shade, ask us about it on the quote route before placing the order.

Because that is all that is available for this OE number. The item is offered in the Original/Genuine tier, made by BYD, and no Aftermarket equivalent is available for it. When we do hold both, the two tiers are priced on this page and the choice is yours to make. Here the genuine buckle is the single option, which on a restraint component is no bad thing. Should you want the alternative search run, quote 12181041-00 on the quote route along with your build year and we will come back with what we find.
