I had one like that.... as you know, vehicle years are released in about mid-year of the prior year. i.e. you can get a 2023 car in fall of 2022. Same with chassis.

When I bought the one that had a similar title anomaly, I just took it to the DMV showed them the VIN and they reissued me a title with the later year. But that depends on the state... some title based on house completion date, some ( like Florida) based on the chassis VIN
