Thank you. I knew it was in here because I had read it before. Just couldn't find it again. Thanks again

Ascending letters correspond with ascending years except, for some reason, Kioti messed things up when they got to the "N" (I have a "N"). Should be for 2014 but instead the 2013's are "N". Go figure. But someone on TBN probably knows the reason - It's still a mystery to me.

They skipped letter I for some reason.

Mystery solved! Figured one of the old guard Kioti guys would know the story. Wish they would update their chart to reflect that. Bound to confuse anyone with a letter after "I".

The 17 digit VIN on vehicles do not use the letter I either too easy to confuse with number 1.
