Due to the increase in Steelbro's productivity, we are now classified as a company that produces over 500 units per annum.
This involves a change in VIN number configuration. The new VIN format complies with both North American and ISO requirements.
This affects ALL units across all models and markets delivered in 2008 and beyond.
Please note that the three character prefix has changed from 7A9 to 7AS. This is an easy way to tell the new from the old.
