Timing belts only get loose if the tensioner is broken. If that happens the belt will slip and your engine will be out of time. It will either not run at all or run very badly. On an interference engine you could have internal engine damage.

The belt may be cut off, or the pulleys may be held in place by bolts as the camshaft is turned to align the holes so as not to lose the timing. Then replace the belt by loosening the tension pulley.
