VIN decoder and recall checker

Enter a 17-character VIN to see what the vehicle is and which US safety recalls exist for it. Then open the manufacturer's Canadian recall page to check this exact vehicle.

Vehicle identification number (VIN)

0 / 17 Find the VIN at the base of the windshield or on the driver's door jamb sticker. The outlined box is position 9, the check digit. Cars that were not sold in Canada will not return results on the manufacturers' Canadian recall pages.

Vehicle details and US recalls come from the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) public APIs. US recalls are matched by make, model and model year, so they show what exists for this kind of vehicle, not whether this exact car has been repaired. To check this exact vehicle, use the manufacturer's Canadian recall lookup linked above. Those pages are run by the manufacturers and listed by Transport Canada. This tool is for information only.
