Regulations
The United States Clean Air Act (Title II Sections 202, 203, 205, and 207) mandates that the emission control label must correctly match the emissions equipment on the vehicle. Any person violating this requirement is subject to applicable State penalties and a Federal civil penalty (for more details, refer to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] website:
Personnel at franchised dealerships are authorized to affix such labels to vehicles and are, therefore, subject to this regulation and the attendant penalties.
^ Do NOT sell the labels over the counter. ALWAYS install the label on the vehicle.
^ NEVER install a California and/or 50 State Label on a vehicle that is not a California/SO State Emission Certified Vehicle.
^ Do NOT install Federal emission labels on vehicles that are not Federal Emissions Certified.
Label Ordering Procedure
To ensure that the emission control labels are affixed to the correct vehicle, it is necessary to follow these procedures.
1. Record the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) from the vehicle requiring a replacement label.
2. Using the Technical Information System (TIS), conduct a VIN search in the Vehicle Inquiry tab to confirm the emissions equipment of the vehicle and verify the vehicle's emissions requirement by referring to the following accessory codes:
^ CA - California Certified
^ FE - 50 State Certified
^ RE - Federal Certified
^ CN - California and New York Certified
3. Once the emissions equipment information is verified, obtain the part number information by consulting the Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) or parts microfiche for all Toyota vehicles, including Federal Specification vehicles.
Search the EPC using the VIN number and the part number prefix 11298 to obtain the appropriate emission label part number for that vehicle.
4. Order the label through your Parts Department using standard parts ordering procedures.
5. When the part arrives verify that the emission label matches the emissions equipment on the vehicle. This will ensure the correct label is affixed to the vehicle.
