Parts Marking

To deter vehicle theft, certain major components are marked with the vehicle identification number (VIN). Original parts have self-adhesive labels. Replacement body parts have generic self-adhesive labels. The original engine or transmission VIN plates are not transferable to a replacement engine and transmission.

NOTE: Be careful not to damage the parts marking labels during body repair. Mask the labels before repairing the part.
