Vehicle Identification Number

The vehicle identification number (VIN) is a 17-character combination of numbers and letters. The VIN is stamped on a vehicle identification plate that is riveted to the LH side of the instrument panel, close to the windshield glass. The VIN number is viewed by looking through the windshield glass on the driver's side. The VIN number is also found on the vehicle certification label.

The VIN is used for title and registration purposes and for warranty identification. The VIN indicates the following:
- Manufacturer.
- Brake system and gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) class.
- Vehicle line.
- Series.
- Body type.
- Engine.
- Model year.
- Assembly plant.
- Production sequence number.

The sequence number of each unit built is the last six digits of the VIN.
