How do you tell the manufacture date from the vin on a 2008 sonata?

To determine the manufacture date from the VIN of a 2008 Hyundai Sonata, locate the 10th character of the VIN, which indicates the model year. For 2008, this character should be "8." Additionally, the VIN can provide information about the production plant, but for the exact manufacture date, you may need to refer to the vehicle's build sheet or contact a Hyundai dealer for detailed information.
