The letter 'K' in the VIN represents either 2019 or 1989. In most standard VINs, the 10th digit indicates the production year, cycling every 30 years. A VIN consists of 17 characters, which represent the following: 1. The first 3 characters indicate the vehicle's production country, manufacturer, and vehicle type; 2. Characters 4 to 8 denote vehicle characteristics such as model, body type, engine type, and gross vehicle weight rating; 3. The 9th character is a check digit used to verify the VIN's accuracy; 4. The 11th character indicates the vehicle's assembly location; 5. Characters 12 to 17 represent the production sequence number.
