What do the characters in an Acura VIN mean?
Every Acura Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) contains a 17-character alphanumeric code unique to each Acura vehicle. It provides a range of information about a given Acura vehicle, including the year it was built, the country and factory the Acura was built in, its engine and transmission types, exterior color, safety equipment, and more.
The most common first three digits of an Acura VIN, or its World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) for Acura vehicles in the US is “JH4.” This WMI is assigned to Acura vehicles that are manufactured by Honda of America.
- J: This character represents the country of manufacture, and “J” is assigned to Japan. So, vehicles with a VIN beginning with “J” are made in Japan.
- H: This character represents the manufacturer. In this case, “H” stands for Honda. Acura is a luxury vehicle division of Honda.
- 4: This character typically represents the type of vehicle, though it can sometimes include additional information about the manufacturer. In the case of “JH4,” the “4” is often associated with passenger cars.
