Vin stamp whoops?

The repair stamper is then used. That's how I was told it happened at Norwood.

Repair stamper is the long slim bar on the right side.

It all boils down to simple human error.

Ok - I guess I could see that. Hate it when that happens.

It would be an amazing coincidence that they would be off by ten units - but - I've seen some amazing coincidences.

By the way - it's not just the one car that would need repair. It's all the ones between when the discovery was made back to the VIN stamp operation, too.
