VIN: JM1FE173140129503, this is a red base model I'm considering, trying to figure out if the recalls have been done. Thanks much.

Re: help me find the build date on this VIN#

Well, it's definitely a new model :D

0129503 = incremented number.

0109161 = my VIN. I guess mine was built 07/2003 or 08/2003?

Annual output = 30,000 --> 2500 a month

since your number is 20000 higher than mine, it prolly was built 8 months later than mine, that would put it in March or April of 2004.

The recalls definitely would have been applied in those models.

All the recalls and Service buletins do state the VIN# ranges, so if you go find them, that should tell you if the service should have been performed or not. I would still ask and not assume as dealerships are not always up to date on things.
