Title follows the vehicle/VIN not the tag so this shouldn't have any impact on it since they're two separate transactions. Probably not even the same deptartment in PENNdot. Double check your paperwork against the VIN on the car to make sure it is correct. With 17 characters, it's easy to get a letter or number swapped or missing
