My VIN is JTDJT92388520XXXX, so am I in the clear?
I think so but also thinking about preemptively changing the bolts.

What do you think?
Thanks

The whole which VIN thing is not super clear and it has changed at least once, so I would definitely recommend that anyone who lives where road salt is used check them on a minimum of a yearly basis.
