As expected FCA resubmitted their request for VIN certification with updated info to replace the NA in the 2.0 spot with the 270 number (odd the typo was 368 without rounding, and the new number is the rounded suspected/expected 268, now as 270).

https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/mid/home/displayfile/39750

Interesting among that info is the return of the JL 2Dr Sahara (both LHD and RHD).

Might still be for export only, but as this is for NHTSA’s requirements, would that be necessary?
There are of course RHD Wranglers in N.Am. especially popular with letter carriers / postal workers, etc.

Could also be a a lazy typo like last time too, perhaps just cutting and pasting the JK list/grid with X replacing W as the middle alpha-digit, but still found it interesting.

And yet their document submitted last Friday states otherwise, which is why it’s interesting.
