Ran the VIN through the RU site:

(This Chassis was originally "Prepped" for delivery at a Chicago-Land dealer.)

Am I entitled to a Printed Owner's Manual "En Francais" ?

Je ne comprends pas !

040 is the Paint code "Schwartz"

Erroneous decoding of the S.A. codes in the EPC.
Color code 040 (Black) is decoded as spec. equipment code.

Salutte!

I've seen a few older car VINs come back with newer car features. LOL
