VIN PLATES & CERTIFICATION LABELS
Replacement VIN plates (riveted to dashboard) and Certification Labels (affixed to driver's door or door post) are available from Toyota providing the request meets one of the following criteria:
^ The original label is incorrect (an incorrect Certification Label must accompany the request; an incorrect VIN plate must be returned after receipt of the new one).
^ The vehicle is in an accident and the plate or label is damaged or is attached to a part that will be replaced during the repair* (the plate or label to be replaced must accompany the request).
^ The plate or label is stolen*. Be sure to contact State Police or the Department of Motor Vehicles; in many cases they will issue a unique number so that the original can be included on stolen vehicle listings. When requesting a new plate or label to replace a stolen one, it is necessary to include a copy of the police or insurance company report.
^ All replacement plates and labels 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.
Aluminum Certification Plates are no longer available as replacements. If one is requested, a vinyl label containing information from this plate combined with information from the manufacturer's plate (mounted on the engine compartment side of the cowl panel) will be supplied instead.
To request a replacement plate or label, complete the appropriate portion of the form in this bulletin. Note that damaged VIN plates or labels must accompany the request form. Your dealer parts account will be billed $10.00 for each replacement of a damaged plate or label. Replacements for incorrect plates or labels will be provided free of charge.
