Every Acura RDX (2019–2024) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 5J8 WMI. The RDX is a gas SUV; this page shows what each character of a Acura RDX VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the RDX.
Each sample below is built from the real 5J8 WMI and the RDX's descriptor, so it decodes to a Acura RDX of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 5J8TC2H30KL476573 — a 2019 Acura RDX:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 5J8 | Marks the VIN as Acura, built in United States |
| 4–8 | VDS | TC2H3 | Descriptor for the RDX — SUV body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 0 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | K | Code K = 2019 |
| 11 | Plant | L | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 476573 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Acura RDX VIN read 5J8 — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Acura, assembled in United States (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (TC2H3 in our seed) describe the RDX itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the RDX, 2019 is code K and 2024 is code R. See the 2024 year code or the check-digit math.

A Acura RDX VIN is 17 characters starting with the 5J8 WMI, for example 5J8TC2H30KL476573. Positions 4–8 describe the RDX, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 5J8 is the Acura WMI, positions 4–8 are the RDX descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The RDX in our seed uses the 5J8 WMI (United States). Any VIN beginning with 5J8 decodes to Acura.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Acura 5J8 WMI, and carry the RDX's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Acura RDX. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
