Anti-Theft Label
The Federal law requires that manufacturer label certain body parts on this vehicle with the VIN. The
purpose of the law is to reduce the number of motor vehicle thefts by helping in the tracing and
recovery of parts from stolen vehicles.
Labels are permanently affixed to an interior surface of the part. The label on the replacement part
20
contains the letter R, the manufacturer's logo, and the DOT symbol.
The anti-theft label must be covered before any painting, and rustproof procedures, and uncovered
after the procedures. Failure to follow the precautionary steps may result in liability for violation of the
Federal Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard and possible suspicion to the owner that the part was
stolen.
