Introduction





Replacement VIN plates (metal plate riveted to dashboard) may be available from Toyota providing the request meets one of the criteria listed below.

Affected Vehicles

^ All Toyota vehicles.

Replacement VIN Plate Criteria

^ The vehicle is in an accident and the plate is damaged.

NOTE:
The plate to be replaced MUST accompany the request.

NOTE:
If a plate is stolen, be sure to contact the State Police or the Department of Motor Vehicles. In most cases the state will issue a unique number so that the original number can be included on stolen vehicle listings. If this is the case, a replacement VIN plate is NOT available from Toyota. However, the original VIN, NOT the state- issued VIN, must be used on all warranty claims.

Procurement Procedure





To request a replacement plate, complete a copy of the form in this bulletin. Note that damaged VIN plates must accompany the request form. Your dealer parts account will be billed $10.00 for each replacement of a damaged plate.

NOTE:
All replacement plates for damaged and/or stolen vehicles are subject to approval by the Technical Compliance Department. If you have any specific questions, contact (310) 781-3390.
