PART 9: VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS
Each vehicle completed by Peterbilt Motors Company
uses a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) that contains
the model year designation of your Peterbilt. The practice
is in compliance with 49 CFR 565, Code of Federal Regu-
lations.
All Peterbilt vehicles are identified by a 17–digit Vehicle
Identification Number (VIN). This unique numeral and let-
ter combination identifies the manufacturer, the model
year it was built, and other vehicle attributes. The VIN is in
compliance with 49CFR565, Code of Federal Regula-
tions. As an example, the model year and assembly plant
are designated by a letter in the tenth and eleventh char-
acter positions (see 4 and 5 below).
