How this VIN pattern is read
A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.

|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | 4S4 | SUBARU OF AMERICA, INC · World manufacturer identifier |
| 4–8 | WX92D | Model, body style, engine and restraint system |
| 9 | × | Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build |
| 10 | 8 | Model year — 2008 |
| 11 | × | Assembly plant |
| 12–17 | ×××××× | Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle |
