Anti-Theft Label

Callout Description
1 The Federal law requires that General Motors label certain body parts on this vehicle with the VIN. The purpose of the law is to reduce the number of motor vehicle thefts by helping in the tracing and recovery of parts from stolen vehicles.
Labels are permanently affixed to an interior surface of the part. The label on the replacement part contains the letter R, the manufacturer's logo, and the DOT symbol.
The anti-theft label must be covered before any painting, rustproofing procedures, and uncovered after the procedures. Failure to follow the precautionary steps may result in liability for violation of the Federal Vehicle Theft Prevention Standard and possible suspicion to the owner that the part was stolen.

Service Parts ID Label 

This label is located on the inside of the glove box and contains the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN), the model designation, the paint information, production options, and special equipment. If there is no label, there is a barcode on the certification label on the center (B-pillar) to scan for this same information.
