REPLACEMENT VIN PLATES AND COMPLIANCE LABELS
Effective January 1, 2002, replacement VIN plates (riveted to the front left side of the dashboard) and Compliance Labels (affixed to driver's door or
doorpost "B" pillar) will be available from TCI. An administration fee of $50.00 per VIN plate and $20.00 per Compliance Label will be debited to
the Dealer's Parts Account.
Requests for replacement VIN plates and/or Compliance Labels must meet one of the following criterion:
- The original VIN plate or Compliance label is incorrect. (The incorrect VIN plate or compliance label must accompany the request.)
- The original VIN plate or Compliance label has been damaged or is attached to a part that will be replaced as a result of a vehicle
accident. (The plate or label, to be replaced, must accompany the request.)
- The original VIN plate or Compliance label has been stolen or removed by the police. (Be sure to contact the Police first). When
requesting a new plate or label to replace a stolen one, a copy of the police or insurance company report must be included with the request.
NOTE:
Aluminum Compliance Plates Are No Longer Available as Replacements:
Prior to 1989-model year the compliance plate was aluminum. For 1989-model year and later production, this plate has been replaced with a vinyl
label. If an aluminum plate requires replacement, a vinyl label containing information from this plate will be supplied as a replacement.
In order for a request to be processed the Service Manager must sign and submit the "Request For Replacement VIN Plate/Compliance Label" form
(Attachment B).
By signing the request form the Service Manager agrees to provide TCI with evidence that the plate and/or label has been installed on the
appropriate vehicle.
Once the "Request For Replacement VIN Plate/Compliance Label" form (Attachment B) has been received TCI will process the application, create
the replacement VIN Plate/Compliance Label, and returned ship via registered courier to the dealership, attention to the Service Manager. TCI will
then debit the applicable charges to the Dealer Parts Account.
NOTE:
Unsigned or incomplete forms will be returned to the dealer and the request for replacement VIN Plate/Compliance Label will not be
processed.
After installation of the replacement VIN Plate/Compliance Label the Service Manager must sign and submit the completed "Proof of Replacement
VIN Plate/Compliance Label Installation" form (Attachment C), attach photographs documenting the installation and return to TCI.
NOTE:
- If TCI does not receive evidence of installation after 30 days from the date the replacement VIN Plate or Compliance Label had been
issued a $50.00 penalty charge will be debited to the Dealer's Parts Account.
- If you have any questions or require further information please contact your Consultant, Parts & Service Operations representative.

DATE: DECEMBER 2011
Welding specifications for body components are published in model-specific Collision Damage Repair Manuals for all Toyota Lexus and Scion
vehicles. Welded component installation may require a combination of welding methods including:
^ STRSW (Squeeze-Type Resistant Spot Welds)
^ GMAW/MIG (Gas Metal Arc/Metal Inert Gas - Welding)
^ Arc Brazing (Brazing)
The STRSW method best replicates factory attachment methods and when performed correctly offers the following advantages over GMAW/MIG
plug welding:
^ Equipment is readily available in most markets
^ Comparable to factory welding methods and appearance
^ Does not produce ultra violet radiation
^ Reduces heat effect zones and corrosive hot spots
^ Reduces the emission of metal grinding particles when finishing
^ Reduces the emission of stray sparks
^ Reduces airborne contamination from burnt coatings
STRSW may be substituted for GMAW/MIG plug welds, however, STRSW substitutions should match factory weld size, strength and appearance.
Appearance alone does not validate the strength of a weld. Weld strength must be validated by tuning the welder and performing destructive testing.
Tuning the welder and destructive tests must be performed on metal of the same thickness and composition as that of the component being replaced.
Always review Toyota Repair Manual Specifications and Collision Repair Information Bulletins before proceeding with any welded body
component replacement. Toyota technical reference information can be accessed through (www.techinfo.toyota.com).

The following illustrations are examples of body component welding specifications that call-out the locations of GMAW/MIG welds that may be
substituted with STRSW. For model-specific instructions specifications and reference charts review the applicable Collision Damage Repair Manual.
NOTE:
STRSW substitutions should match factory spot welds in size strength and appearance. If replacement welds are larger or smaller resize
electrode contact tip to match. Do not STRSW over factory weld locations.
Toyota Collision Repair & Refinish Training provides detailed information discussion and training on welding topics such as these in courses:
^ PB300 Welding Techniques For Collision Repair Pre-Work (web-based e-learning)
^ B300 Welding Techniques For Collision Repair
^ 301 Non-Structural Body Repair Techniques
^ 460 Structural Body Repair Techniques
