the MADE IN JAPAN NO. 578 part? what does that signify?

 

Maybe the QC inspector ? It would have been neat if it told you what number produced runner it was of the MY, but I doubt it.
Hopefully someone here knows.

TTT !

Also with a vin starting with a "J" it was made in Japan as opposed to pickups and tacos that start with a "4" and were made in the us.

 

I ask because my '96 says Made In Japan No. 001, which I thought was interesting.

I'm curious as to what it denotes.

 

Could it just be the actual tag number?
My '91 says Made in Japan No. 193.
Now I'm curious, too!

 

We will see if they respond - they certainly have in the past, with the most recent being a denial of any financial help for getting the gas gauge fixed in the runner.
Bastages.
I figured WTH - some people have actually gotten them to pony up.
At any rate, I will let you know if they answer.

great, thanks!

 

Toyota came back with :


" We are sorry, our office does not have access to the significance, if any, of the description you are seeking."


Anyone here have any contacts in Japan ?

Thanks !
