the codes arent different here in the us. read the vin. of your vehicle to get your chassis code. but basically your looking at the fourth through 6th letters of your vin for your chassis.

The first character represents the country of manufacture, and can be a letter or a number, each signifying a different country. The most common ones are as follows: (1 = USA, 2 = Canada, 3 = Mexico, J = Japan, K = Korea, W = Germany, Y = Finland, Sweden)

The second/third characters represent the manufacturer, also known as the make. The most common are: (A = Alfa Romeo, B = Dodge, C = Chrysler, D = Daihatsu, E = Eagle, F= Ford/Eagle, G = All General Motors vehicles (Buick, Cadillac, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Saturn) H = Honda/Acura, J= Jeep, L = Lincoln, M = Mitsubishi, N = Nissan/Infiniti, P = Plymouth, S = Subaru, T = Toyota/Lexus, V = Volkswagen)
Other popular makes use a 3-character initial sequence: (TRU/WAU = Audi, 4US/WBA/WBS = BMW, 2HM/KMH = Hyundai, SAJ = Jaguar, SAL = Land Rover, 1YV/JM1 = Mazda, WDB = Mercedes-Benz, VF3 = Peugeot, WP0 = Porsche, YK1/YS3 = Saab, YV1=Volvo) The fourth character is the type of restraint system.
the next up os the vehilcle line, series and body style. This will obviously be different across makes and models.
The eighth character is the engine type.
The tenth character represents the year of the car. Pay close attention to this one: B = 1981 F = 1985 K = 1989 P = 1993 V = 1997 1 = 2001 C = 1982 G = 1986 L = 1990 R = 1994 W = 1998 2 = 2002 D = 1983 H = 1987 M = 1991 S = 1995 X = 1999 3 = 2003 E = 1984 J = 1988 N = 1992 T = 1996 Y = 2000 4 = 2004 For the most recent used model year, 5 = 2005
The eleventh character indicates the assembly plant. In the above example, the C indicates Ontario, Canada Characters 12-17 represent the vehicle's unique fingerprint. It is these six digits which make every single vehicle in the world different.
