BUILD DATE STAMP LOCATION
The vehicle build date is a four-digit number representing month and day of manufacture. It is stamped on the front surface of the radiator support on the passenger side of the vehicle.
For a build date of January 24, for example, the vehicle date stamp reads 0124; for a build date of October21 the vehicle date stamp reads 1021.
Yellow ink is normally used for the date stamp. When the marking surface is painted the body color, the date stamp will be marked in red ink.
