NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: VIN Decoder & Car Recall Check is an independent app. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to NHTSA, the U.S. Department of Transportation or any government agency.
OFFICIAL DATA SOURCES
This app shows public data published by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA):
• VIN decoding and vehicle specs: https://vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov/
• Safety recalls: https://api.nhtsa.gov/
• Check recalls for your own VIN on the official site: https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls
Decode a 17 character VIN and see the car's specs and the safety recalls issued for that model and year. Useful when you are buying a used car, inspecting a vehicle or keeping track of your own cars.
KEY FEATURES
• VIN scanner: scan the VIN barcode (Code 39, Code 128, DataMatrix) or the printed 17 digit VIN on the windshield or door jamb sticker
• Vehicle specs: year, make, model, trim, engine (cylinders, displacement, HP), transmission, fuel type, body style, plant and country of assembly
• Recall check: recall campaigns for the vehicle's model and year, with campaign number, affected component, risk and the maker's remedy
• Search without a VIN: browse recalls by year, make and model
• My Garage: save your vehicles on your device and recheck recalls with one tap
• Check digit test: catches most VIN typing mistakes before you search
HONEST NOTE
• This is not a vehicle history report. It does not show accidents, owners, title or odometer records.
• Recalls are listed for the model and year. To confirm whether a recall on your own car has been repaired, use https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls or ask your dealer.
• Data comes from NHTSA and works best for vehicles sold in the United States.
PRIVACY
No account and no sign in. The VIN you search is sent to the NHTSA services listed above to get the results. Your garage and search history stay on your device.
