2002 Accent "L", 1.5L SOHC, Hatch.

Trying to order new rotors but the part apparently
changed mid-year. All the parts houses list 2
different rotors, one up to 3-12-02 and the other
from 3-12-02 production date.

I bought the car in early June 02, but how can I tell
when it was built?

The VIN is KMHCF35G12U212190 if that's any help.

Google VIN DECODER

Thank you; that confirms it is an '02.
But was it manufactured before or after March 12 of 2002?

Bingo!!

And the date was only 3 days past the transition date.

Thanks for the helpful tip.
