Free tool · live NHTSA data

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, and it does not guess whether a campaign was completed on this exact vehicle.

Your browser calls https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov, then https://api.nhtsa.gov. Watch the network tab.
