48U — Primary exterior color: Dark Yellow Green Metallic. This code identifies the vehicle's factory-applied main exterior paint color. Browse RPO codes →

The VIN report includes 48U, described as “Primary exterior color: Dark Yellow Green Metallic. This code identifies the vehicle's factory-applied main exterior paint color” I would like to archive the correct information with the vehicle. Is there another factory document that normally confirms this code?

I would start by checking the original build sheet and then compare the physical equipment on the vehicle. A sales or option code confirms the factory record, but it does not prove that every original component is still installed.

The dealer should be able to pull a VIN-specific equipment or parts record. Ask them to search by VIN rather than entering only the three-character code.

Check the production month as well as the model year. Mid-year changes are one reason two vehicles with the same badge can have different hardware or descriptions.
