That can be found on the door jam of the drivers door

It seems that you may be referring to the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) system, which uses a unique combination of 17 characters to identify a specific vehicle. The VIN system is used by vehicle manufacturers to identify and track individual vehicles throughout their production and use http://www.vinnumberlookup.com/ for vin number lookup. If you have a specific question about a VIN code, please provide me with the complete 17-character code and I will do my best to provide you with more information.

Sure! By decoding the VIN on your Honda Civic, you can determine important information about the vehicle, including its country of origin, manufacturer, model, engine size, and production details and also go with vinpit.com for free VIN check service.

Numbers 10-17 are the Vehicle Identification Section (VIS) and identify the particular vehicle:
I remember at first I also had a hard time figuring out what it meant. But then I managed to understand and now I can often look at epicvin.com/vin-decoder and find out the truth about various cars from auctions. Because they often try to mask the internal defects with the external beauty of the car, it is quite common. I hope I helped.

• Number 10
  • G = 2016 model year
• Number 11
  • H = Alliston plant
  • E = Indiana plant
  • [_] = Swindon plant
• Numbers 12-17
