Every Acura TLX (2015–2020) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 19U WMI. The TLX is a gas sedan; this page shows what each character of a Acura TLX 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 TLX.
Each sample below is built from the real 19U WMI and the TLX's descriptor, so it decodes to a Acura TLX of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 19UUB1F34F5277332 — a 2015 Acura TLX:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 19U | Marks the VIN as Acura, built in United States |
| 4–8 | VDS | UB1F3 | Descriptor for the TLX — sedan body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 4 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | F | Code F = 2015 |
| 11 | Plant | 5 | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 277332 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Acura TLX VIN read 19U — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Acura, assembled in United States (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (UB1F3 in our seed) describe the TLX itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the TLX, 2015 is code F and 2020 is code L. See the 2020 year code or the check-digit math.

A Acura TLX VIN is 17 characters starting with the 19U WMI, for example 19UUB1F34F5277332. Positions 4–8 describe the TLX, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 19U is the Acura WMI, positions 4–8 are the TLX 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 TLX in our seed uses the 19U WMI (United States). Any VIN beginning with 19U decodes to Acura.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Acura 19U WMI, and carry the TLX's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Acura TLX. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
