Live NHTSA · no mocks

VIN in. Year, make, model, recalls out.

Decode uses NHTSA vPIC. Recalls use the NHTSA vehicle API. This page does not invent OEM specs or labor times. It does not guess whether a campaign was completed on this exact vehicle.

Federal public data. Not a substitute for the manufacturer notice on this VIN. Mech Correct still tells techs to verify against OEM service data before the repair.
