Subaru Models & VIN Number Locations
Subaru VIN Number Locations
For Subaru vehicles, the VIN number can typically be found in the following locations:
1. Dashboard
On most Subaru vehicles, the VIN is located on the driver's side dashboard, visible through the windshield.
2. Driver's Side Door Jamb
Open the driver's side door and look for a sticker or metal plate on the door frame. This label often contains the VIN along with other vehicle information.
3. Engine Compartment
The VIN may be stamped on the firewall inner wing within the engine compartment. This location can be more challenging to access and may require cleaning to view clearly.
4. Chassis or Frame
In some models, especially older ones, the VIN is stamped on the chassis or frame. For example, on the Subaru Forester (2008–2011), the VIN is located on the bulkhead. But it can also be found on the inner wing on the frame behind the front wheel and on the front seat cross memebr under the floor carpet
