Collision Repair
These custom VIN safety labels are just like any other part that goes back into a collision repair. But these labels are “parts” that contain information deemed mandatory by the US government. Nowhere else will the owner find the month and year of manufacture that is so important for manufacturer safety recalls. The owner’s manual points to these labels for critical information about loading weights and tire pressure specific to the vehicle trim level. VinLabelShop.com makes it fast and easy for the repair industry to get these important labels.
Replacement Vin Labels
We use 3M polyester labels. Federal law, administered by the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) mandates that certain safety information is to be permanently affixed to all vehicles sold in the USA (49 CFR Parts 567.4 and 571.110). The safety information is contained in the two labels shown below that are to be permanently affixed to the driver’s door or the B-Pillar:
Types of Labels
There are five types of VIN labels commonly found on cars, trucks, vans, and SUV’s.
VinLabelShop.com specializes in these VIN labels:
1. VIN Safety Certification Label (VIN sticker)
2. Tire and Loading Label with or without VIN
3. Anti-Theft VIN Label
4. Service Parts VIN Label
5. Emission Control Label
VIN Safety Certification Label
The VIN Safety Certification Label is required by federal law to be permanently affixed and located near the Tire and Loading Label on the driver’s door or the B-Pillar.
This VIN sticker contains safety information that is critical to the driver such as gross weight ratings for the overall vehicle and for the front and rear axle. It also lists the tire sizes and inflation pressure for the front and rear tires and the spare tire. Another important piece of information is the month and year of manufacture. Date of manufacture assists the owner and mechanics to determine if any safety recalls apply to the vehicle. This date also assists the owner when the vehicle is sold or traded. For example, a 2017 model begins manufacture in September of 2016 and ends in August 2017. If the label is missing the buyer will assume that the vehicle was manufactured in September, the older date and appraise accordingly. Some manufactures include mechanical information such as brake systems. Others include paint and trim codes. This is truly a custom label specifically for each vehicle. And finally, it contains the VIN in a clear and legible format that is easy to find on the driver’s door or B-Pillar. Sometimes it is difficult to read the VIN tag that is located on the dashboard.
Tire and Loading Label with or without VIN
The Tire and Loading Safety Label is required by federal law to be permanently affixed and located near the VIN Safety Certification Label.
This sticker may or may not contain the VIN. It does report the overall weight limits and number of occupants. The owner’s manual directs the driver to use this label for tire sizes and inflation pressure.
Anti-Theft VIN Label
The Anti-Theft VIN label is found on a multitude of body panels. It is not used by all manufacturers, but is commonly found on Toyota, Lexus, BMW, Acura, Audi, Mazda, Mercedes Benz, Nissan, Infiniti, Volvo, Ferrari, Honda, Ford, Hyundai, Kia, and Jaguar.
These labels contain the VIN and have a special adhesive that leaves a heavy residue if removed. Many manufacturers use the Anti-Theft Label as a deterrent to thieves as each body panel must be scrubbed to remove any trace of the original VIN. Some contain barcodes and the VIN while others simply contain the VIN. VinLabelShop.com supplies Anti-Theft labels in packs of three as it is unlikely that all body panels will be impacted in a collision.
Service Parts Identification VIN Label
The Service Parts label is most commonly used by General Motors and Daimler. General Motors started using this label in 1984. It is useful for mechanics and parts people to identify parts and options associated with the VIN. The Service Parts label is found on the underside of the trunk lid, on interior trunk panels or affixed to the glove box interior.
For example, U 8874 is the exterior color code. 192 is the interior color code. DRSHBP is the order number. 2FS87 is the model. The multitude of three-digit codes in the center of the label represent various options associated with this specific VIN.
Emission Control Label
The emission control label is commonly found in the engine compartment or under the hood. Some manufacturers include a barcode with the last 8 digits of the VIN. The emission control label is required for all passenger cars and light duty trucks starting in 1970. It contains the certification standards for federal, California, and/or Canada, the engine family, engine size, engine tune up adjustment, emission control components and in some cases, a vacuum and hose routing diagram.
