NHTSA

• Decode VINTurn a VIN into the vehicle it describes: year, make, model, trim, body, engine, fuel, transmission, where it was built, and its safety equipment. Says whether the VIN is valid and what is wrong with it if not. A partial VIN works too, with * for unknown characters.
• Decode VINs in bulkDecode up to 50 VINs in one step, each into the same vehicle details 'Decode VIN' gives. Lists the VINs that are not valid so they can be checked.
• Get recalls for a VINFind the safety recalls issued for the year, make and model a VIN belongs to, newest first, with what is wrong, the risk and the fix. Flags any recall that says not to drive the vehicle or to park it outside. NHTSA's public data covers the model, not whether this particular vehicle has already been repaired.
• Get recalls for a vehicleFind every safety recall for a year, make and model, newest first: the component, what can go wrong, the fix, and whether owners are told not to drive it or to park it outside.
• Get recallLook up one recall by its NHTSA campaign number: what is wrong, the risk, the fix, how many vehicles it affects, and every year, make and model it covers.
• Get complaints for a vehicleGet the safety complaints owners have filed with NHTSA about a year, make and model, newest first, with totals for crashes, fires, injuries and deaths and the components complained about most. Narrow the list to serious incidents or recent filings.
• Get complaintLook up one owner complaint by its NHTSA (ODI) number: what happened, the components involved, whether there was a crash, fire, injury or death, and the vehicles it concerns.
• Get safety ratingsGet a vehicle's NHTSA 5-Star Safety Ratings: overall, frontal crash, side crash and rollover, with the crash-test photos and videos, its safety technology, and how many recalls, complaints and investigations it has. Pick a version for one body style and drive, or leave it empty to rate every version.
• List modelsList the models NHTSA has on record for a make, by vehicle type and optionally model year.
• Find manufacturerFind vehicle and equipment manufacturers registered with NHTSA by name: their registered name and address, country, what they make, and the weight classes of their vehicles.
• Get vehicle dimensionsGet a vehicle's length, width, height, wheelbase, track width, curb weight and front/rear weight split, for each version of the model, in inches and pounds or centimetres and kilograms. Comes from the Canadian Vehicle Specifications NHTSA publishes, which start with 1971 models.
• Find car seat inspection stationsFind places where a certified technician will check that a child's car seat is installed correctly, usually for free: the organization, address, phone and email, and the counties they serve. Search a whole state or one ZIP code in it.
