Model year is the 10th digit:10th character- Identifies the model year. For vehicles manufactured 1980-2001, it will be a letter. 2001 and beyond will be indicated by a number (U, Z, and 0 aren't used), and in 2010 they'll start over with letter "A". For example: 1994(R), 1995(S), 1996(T), 1997(V), 1998(W), 1999(X), 2000(Y), 2001(1), 2002(2), 2003(3).
