Vehicle Certification (VC) Label Example








Rear Axle Identification Tag

The Vehicle Certification (VC) label is located in the driver doorjamb. The axle code is on the VC label.








Axle Identification Tag Denoting Interchangeability Affected Internally

The rear axle identification tag is located on the rear axle, attached by a differential housing cover bolt.

The axle identification tag identifies a particular axle design, a specific ratio, and if it is a conventional or limited slip (Traction-LOK) type. In addition, the plant code will not change as long as that particular axle assembly never undergoes an external design change. If, however, an internal design change takes place during the production life of the axle and that internal change affects parts interchangeability, a dash and numerical suffix is added to the plant code. This means that as an assembly both axles are interchangeable; however, internally they are different. Therefore, each requires different internal parts at the time of repair.
