Parts Marking Locations




To deter vehicle theft, certain major components are marked with the vehicle identification number (VIN). Original parts have self-adhesive labels. Replacement body parts will have self-adhesive labels, and replacement engine and transmission will have the VIN plate attached with a break-off bolt.

NOTE:
- Be careful not to damage the parts marking labels during body repair. Mask the labels before repairing the part.
- Label locations letters without parenthesis indicate original parts. Letters with parenthesis indicate replacement parts.
