  • Positions 4–8 (VDS): Encodes vehicle-specific attributes such as body style, engine type, and series.
  • Position 9: NHTSA check digit — a mathematical value used to verify the VIN is valid.
  • Position 10: Model year code — a letter or digit per the NHTSA year table.
  • Position 11: Assembly plant code — one of the plant letters above.
