RE: VIN Coding System on 2002 Model Year Toyota and Vehicles - Supplement

Dear Dr. Runge:

We are informing you of a change to the material regarding the VIN Coding System applicable to 2002 model year Toyota and Lexus vehicles that we submitted on May 25,2001.

This revision involves a company name change for one of the manufacturing plants producing the Toyota RAV4. The company name for the Nagakusa Plant has been changed from Toyoda Automatic Loom Works, Ltd. to Corporation (see page 6).

Please replace the previously submitted information with this Supplement.

Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
