What is a Subaru Build Sheet?
Many Subaru models look nearly identical while having very different factory equipment. A Subaru Build Sheet is the factory production record that documents how a Subaru was originally built before leaving the assembly plant.Â
It identifies the original trim level, Boxer engine, transmission, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive configuration, factory-installed equipment, colors, MSRP, and production specifications assigned to the VIN.
Why Subaru Build Sheets Matter
Factory-installed options can affect capability, resale value, maintenance, and compatibility with replacement parts. Our Build Sheet verifies those original specifications using production records linked to the VIN.
Buyers
Many Subaru models share similar styling but differ significantly in drivetrain, engine, safety systems, and factory options. Reviewing the Build Sheet helps buyers identify those differences.

Where Can I Find the VIN on a Subaru?
The VIN is permanently assigned to your Subaru and appears in several locations throughout the vehicle. Once you’ve located it, you can retrieve your factory Build Sheet in just a few minutes.
Driver's Side Dashboard
On most Subaru models, the VIN is located on the driver’s side dashboard near the base of the windshield. It can usually be read from outside the vehicle through the windshield.
Driver's Door Jamb
Open the driver’s door and inspect the certification label attached to the door jamb. This label typically displays the VIN along with manufacturing information, tire specifications, and weight ratings.
Engine Compartment
Some Subaru models also include VIN labels or identification plates within the engine compartment. Depending on the model year, these may be attached to the firewall or other manufacturer-designated locations.
Vehicle Documents
You can also find your Subaru VIN on the vehicle title, registration, insurance card, financing paperwork, service records, and purchase documents.
Subaru STARLINK® App
Owners of eligible Subaru models may be able to view the VIN through their MySubaru account or the MySubaru mobile app after registering the vehicle. Available features vary depending on the model year and region.
Classic Subaru VIN Locations
Many classic Subaru vehicles built before the standardized 17-character VIN system use shorter VINs or chassis numbers. Depending on the model, these identifiers may appear on the firewall, body plate, engine compartment, door pillar, or original ownership documents.

Subaru Build Sheet Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find a free Subaru Build Sheet by VIN?
Free Subaru VIN lookup tools provide only basic information, such as the model year, engine, and body style. A complete Subaru Build Sheet includes the original trim level, factory option packages, Boxer engine, Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive configuration, paint colors, interior trim, MSRP, and other production details that free VIN decoders typically don’t provide.
How do I decode the option codes on my Subaru VIN plate?
Subaru option codes identify factory-installed equipment, packages, colors, and production specifications. Rather than manually researching each code, a Subaru Build Sheet organizes the available factory option information into an easy-to-read report linked to the vehicle’s VIN.
Can a Subaru dealership print my factory Build Sheet?
Some Subaru dealerships may be able to access factory production information using the VIN, although availability depends on the dealership, model year, and available manufacturer records.Â

What are the Subaru VIN plate option codes like CRC, PGC, KYC, and AYC?
Codes such as CRC, PGC, KYC, and AYC are factory production identifiers used for certain Subaru configurations, equipment, colors, or manufacturing specifications. Their exact meaning depends on the model and production year.

What is the difference between a Subaru Build Sheet and a Window Sticker (Monroney Label)?
A Subaru Build Sheet documents the vehicle’s original factory production specifications, including drivetrain, trim level, option packages, and manufacturing details.
