TruckCodex

VIN Lookup

Enter any 17-character Vehicle Identification Number. We decode the VIN with NHTSA vPIC, look up all carrier inspections that referenced the vehicle, and cross-reference NHTSA recalls and consumer safety complaints.

17 characters, A–Z and 0–9 only (excluding I, O, Q per ISO 3779).

What you'll see

  • Vehicle identity (make, model, year, trim) decoded from the VIN's 17 characters.
  • Body class, engine, drive type, fuel, plant, and manufacturer.
  • Every DOT roadside inspection that referenced the VIN, with carrier and date.
  • Open NHTSA recall campaigns affecting the make/model/year.
  • Consumer safety complaints for the same make/model/year.
