Don't really see a point of having this field if compliance and build date will be the same!
It will depend on the actual date the car came off the production line, mine was originally scheduled for 21/12 and even then I was told that build date would be December but compliance would be 2013. As it turned out, the car came off Boxing Day and is currently enroute to Yokohama for shipping to here

There would be no point compliancing a car 2012 if it hadn't even left Japan before 1/1/13. I spoke with TMCA 2 weeks ago and was 'unofficially' told mine would be 2013, but I have heard the same since from 3 Dealers - no idea what the actual 'cut-off' date was in December

The VIN on your tracking will update shortly for you, it runs a week or so behind the main TMCA system

All I have to do in the next week is find out what ship mine will be coming down on
