General Information: Service Precautions

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


NOTE:
- Be careful not to damage the parts marking labels during body repairs. Mask the labels before repainting.
- Label location letters without parenthesis indicate original parts. Letters with parenthesis indicate replacement parts.
