Replacement VIN Plate Criteria
A replacement VIN plate may be requested ONLY if:
- The vehicle is in an accident and the VIN plate is damaged.
- The vehicle was stolen and the VIN plate is damaged but still available.
NOTE:
- The original VIN plate being replaced MUST accompany the request.
- If the VIN plate is stolen, be sure to contact the State Police or your State's Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). In most cases, the State DMV 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 VIN plate, complete a copy of the form at the end of this bulletin. Note that the damaged VIN plate MUST accompany the request form. Your dealer parts account will be billed $40.00 for each replacement of a damaged VIN plate.
NOTE:
All replacement VIN plates are subject to approval by the Technical Compliance Department. If you have any specific questions, contact (310) 468-3390.
