To be certain, you MUST check the specific part number. Simply looking at the part visually might not be enough, as seemingly identical parts may have subtle differences in design or mounting points.
Here's why they might *not* be interchangeable:
* Different engines: Engine components are rarely interchangeable across model years, especially with potential engine updates.
* Body style changes: Subtle design changes in the body could affect the fitment of exterior parts.
* Electrical systems: Electrical connectors and components can be altered between model years.
* Suspension and steering components: These might have slight variations affecting fitment.
* Interior components: Dashboard, door panels, and seats often have model-year specific designs.
In short: Don't assume interchangeability. Always cross-reference part numbers from a reputable parts supplier (like a dealership or trusted online retailer) to ensure compatibility before purchasing. Using the VIN number when ordering parts is crucial for accuracy.
