Vehicle identification number

Avehicle identification number(VIN;also called achassis numberorframe number) is a unique code, including aserial number,used by theautomotive industryto identify individualmotor vehicles,towed vehicles,motorcycles,scootersandmopeds,as defined by theInternational Organization for Standardizationin ISO 3779 (content and structure) and ISO 4030 (location and attachment).[1]

There are vehicle history services in several countries that help potential car owners use VINs to find vehicles that are defective or have beenwritten off.

History

edit

VINs were first used in 1954 in the United States.[2]From 1954 to 1965, there was no accepted standard for these numbers, so different manufacturers and even divisions within a manufacturer used different formats. Many were little more than a serial number. Starting in January 1966 the US Government mandated that a 13-character VIN be used. This specification was phased in over several years. US manufacturers used them starting in January 1966 – by January 1, 1969, all cars sold in the US were required to have the 13 character VIN.[clarification needed]The 1966 US specification only stated that the year of manufacture, engine type, and a six digit unique number (with that being the last six characters) were required -- the individual manufacturers could use the remaining five spaces for whatever they liked.[3]This was not much better than what was in use by some US manufacturers before 1966.

In 1981, theNational Highway Traffic Safety Administrationof the United States standardized the format.[2]It required all on-road vehicles sold to contain a 17-character VIN, which does not include the letters O (o), I (i), and Q (q) (to avoid confusion with numerals 0, 1, and 9). This was largely based on the ISO 3779 standard, but is more stringent.

After the introduction of the ISO standard, the manufacturers which produced vehicles for the American market very quickly adjusted to this standard. ISO introduced recommendations for applying the VIN standard and its structure, and the VIN was also used in Europe. However, the sets of information contained in it were introduced gradually. For example, Volkswagen started to encode bigger chunks of information during 1995–1997, and the control digit during 2009–2015 for selected models from the group. The VIN control digit is also used, although not in all brand-models. In the European vehicles, it can be found e.g. in Audi A1.[4]

Classification

edit

There are at least four competing standards used to calculate the VIN.

  • FMVSS115, Part 565: Used in United States and Canada[5]
  • ISO3779: Used in Europe and many other parts of the world
  • SAEJ853: Very similar to the ISO standard
  • ADR61/2 used in Australia, referring to ISO 3779 and 3780[6]

Components

edit

Modern VINs are based on two related standards, originally issued by theInternational Organization for Standardization(ISO) in 1979 and 1980: ISO 3779[7]and ISO 3780,[8]respectively. Compatible but different implementations of these ISO standards have been adopted by the European Union and the United States.[9]

The VIN comprises the following sections:

Standard 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17

World manufacturer identifier

edit

The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the world manufacturer identifier or WMI code. A manufacturer who builds fewer than 1,000 vehicles per year uses a 9 as the third digit, and the 12th, 13th and 14th position of the VIN for a second part of the identification. Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both. For example, within1G(assigned toGeneral Motorsin the United States),1G1representsChevroletpassenger cars;1G2,Pontiacpassenger cars; and1GC,Chevrolettrucks.

TheSociety of Automotive Engineers(SAE) in the US assigns WMIs to countries and manufacturers.[11]

The first character of the WMI is typically the region in which the manufacturer is located. In practice, each is assigned to a country of manufacture, although in Europe the country where the continental headquarters is located can assign the WMI to all vehicles produced in that region. (Example: When Adam Opel AG was still with General Motors, Opel/Vauxhall cars designed in that era used to carry a "German" WMI (e.g. W0L, W0V), because Adam Opel AG was based in Rüsselsheim, Germany, no matter if vehicles were produced in Germany, Spain, the United Kingdom or Poland. When Opel changed hands and became part of PSA, this changed for newer models, which obtained "French" WMIs.)

Company mergers and acquisitions can lead to seemingly confusing allocations. For instance, Stellantis, the result of the merger of PSA (France) and FCA (Italy), is technically a Dutch corporation headquartered in Amsterdam. VIN numbers of European-made vehicles or their brands, though, still carry WMIs from France and Italy. Additionally, it may not be immediately obvious what particular local subsidiary of the corporation manages type approvals of vehicles and application for WMIs, since this does not necessarily depend on the perceived country association of the respective brand. For example, in at least one case, a model that was newly released years after the merger by an Italian brand (ex-FCA) carries VIN numbers with new French WMIs (the 2024 Lancia Ypsilon – incidentally manufactured in Spain). It is to be expected that assignment policies of this kind, often for unpublished reasons, can be found at other manufacturers as well.

In the notation below, assume that letters precede numbers and that zero is the last number. For example, 8X–82 denotes the range 8X, 8Y, 8Z, 81, 82, excluding 80.[11]

Vehicle descriptor section

edit

The fourth to ninth positions in the VIN are the vehicle descriptor section or VDS. This is used, according to local regulations, to identify the vehicle type, and may include information on theautomobile platformused, the model, and thebody style.Each manufacturer has a unique system for using this field. Most manufacturers since the 1980s have used the eighth digit to identify the engine type whenever there is more than one engine choice for the vehicle. Example: for the 2007 Chevrolet Corvette, U is for a 6.0-literV8 engine,and E is for a 7.0-liter V8.

North American check digits

edit

One element that is inconsistent is the use of position nine as acheck digit,compulsory for vehicles in North America and China, but not Europe.

Vehicle identifier section

edit

The 10th to 17th positions are used as the vehicle identifier section or VIS. This is used by the manufacturer to identify the individual vehicle in question. This may include information on options installed or engine and transmission choices, but often is a simple sequential number.

Model year encoding

edit

The North American implementation of the VIS uses the 10th digit to encode themodel yearof the vehicle. Besides the three letters that are not allowed in the VIN itself (I, O and Q), the letters U and Z and the digit 0 are not used for the model year code. Outside North America the 10th digit is usually 0.

The year 1980 was encoded by some manufacturers, especially General Motors andChrysler,as "A" (since the 17-digit VIN was not mandatory until 1981, and the "A" or zero was in the manufacturer's pre-1981 placement in the VIN), yetFordandAMCstill used a zero for 1980. Subsequent years increment through the allowed letters, so that "Y" represents the year 2000. 2001 to 2009 are encoded as the digits 1 to 9, and subsequent years are encoded as "A", "B", "C", etc.

Code Year Code Year Code Year Code Year Code Year Code Year
A 1980 L 1990 Y 2000 A 2010 L 2020 Y 2030
B 1981 M 1991 1 2001 B 2011 M 2021 1 2031
C 1982 N 1992 2 2002 C 2012 N 2022 2 2032
D 1983 P 1993 3 2003 D 2013 P 2023 3 2033
E 1984 R 1994 4 2004 E 2014 R 2024 4 2034
F 1985 S 1995 5 2005 F 2015 S 2025 5 2035
G 1986 T 1996 6 2006 G 2016 T 2026 6 2036
H 1987 V 1997 7 2007 H 2017 V 2027 7 2037
J 1988 W 1998 8 2008 J 2018 W 2028 8 2038
K 1989 X 1999 9 2009 K 2019 X 2029 9 2039

On April 30, 2008, the USNational Highway Traffic Safety Administrationadopted a final rule amending 49 CFR Part 565, "so that the current 17 character vehicle identification number (VIN) system, which has been in place for almost 30 years, can continue in use for at least another 30 years", in the process making several changes to the VIN requirements applicable to all motor vehicles manufactured for sale in the United States. There were three notable changes to the VIN structure that affect VIN deciphering systems:

  • The make may only be identified after looking at positions one through three and another position, as determined by the manufacturer in the second section or fourth to eighth segment of the VIN.
  • In order to identify the exact year in passenger cars and multipurpose passenger vehicles with a GVWR of 10,000 or less, one must read position 7 as well as position 10. For passenger cars, and for multipurpose passenger vehicles and trucks with a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,000 lb (4,500 kg) or less, if position seven is numeric, the model year in position 10 of the VIN refers to a year in the range 1980–2009.[12][citation needed]If position seven is Alpha betic, the model year in position 10 of VIN refers to a year in the range 2010–2039.
  • The model year for vehicles with a GVWR greater than 10,000 lb (4,500 kg), as well as buses, motorcycles, trailers and low-speed vehicles, may no longer be identified within a 30-year range. VIN characters 1–8 and 10 that were assigned from 1980 to 2009 can be repeated beginning with the 2010 model year.

Plant code

edit

Compulsory in North America and China is the use of the 11th character to identify the assembly plant at which the vehicle was built. Each manufacturer has its own set of plant codes.

Production number

edit

In the United States and China, the 12th to 17th digits are the vehicle's serial or production number. This is unique to each vehicle, and every manufacturer uses its own sequence.

Check-digit calculation

edit

A check-digit validation is used for all road vehicles sold in the United States and Canada.

When trying to validate a VIN with acheck digit,first either (a) remove the check digit for the purpose of calculation or (b) use a weight of zero (seebelow) to cancel it out. The original value of the check digit is then compared with the calculated value. If the calculated value is 0–9, the check digit must match the calculated value. If the calculated value is 10, the check digit must be X. If the two values do not match (and there was no error in the calculation), then there is a mistake in the VIN. However, a match does not prove the VIN is correct, because there is still a 1/11 chance that any two distinct VINs have a matching check digit: for example, the valid VINs5GZCZ43D13S812715(correct with leading five) andSGZCZ43D13S812715(incorrect with leading character "S" ). The VINs in the Porsche image,WP0ZZZ99ZTS392124,and the GM-T body image,KLATF08Y1VB363636,do not pass the North American check-digit verification.

Transliterating the numbers

edit

Transliteration consists of removing all of the letters, and replacing them with their appropriate numerical counterparts. These numerical alternatives (based on IBM'sEBCDIC) are in the following chart.I,O,andQare not allowed in a valid VIN; for this chart, they have been filled in withN/A(not applicable). Numerical digits use their own values.

Transliteration key: values for VIN decoding
A:1 B:2 C:3 D:4 E:5 F:6 G:7 H:8
J:1 K:2 L:3 M:4 N:5 P:7 R:9
S:2 T:3 U:4 V:5 W:6 X:7 Y:8 Z:9

Sis 2, and not 1. There is no left-alignment linearity.

Weights used in calculation

edit

The following is the weight factor for each position in the VIN. The 9th position is that of the check digit. It has been substituted with a 0, which will cancel it out in the multiplication step.

Weight factor table
Position 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
Weight 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 10 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2

Worked example

edit

Consider the hypothetical VIN1M8GDM9A_KP042788,where the underscore will be the check digit.

VIN 1 M 8 G D M 9 A K P 0 4 2 7 8 8
Value 1 4 8 7 4 4 9 1 0 2 7 0 4 2 7 8 8
Weight 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 10 0 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2
Products 8 28 48 35 16 12 18 10 0 18 56 0 24 10 28 24 16
  1. The VIN's value is calculated from the above transliteration table. This number is used in the rest of the calculation.
  2. Copy theweightsfrom the weight factor row above.
  3. Theproductsrow is the result of the multiplication of the columns in theValueandWeightrows.
  4. The products (8, 28, 48, 35... 24, 16) are all added together to yield a sum,351.
  5. Find the remainder after dividing by 11
    • 351MOD11 = 10
    • 351 ÷ 11 = 311011
  6. The remainder is the check digit. If the remainder is 10, the check digit is X. In this example, the remainder is 10, so the check digit is transliterated asX.

With a check digit ofX,the VIN1M8GDM9A_KP042788is written1M8GDM9AXKP042788.

A VIN withstraight-ones(seventeen consecutive1s) has the nice feature that its check digit1matches the calculated value1.This is because a value of one multiplied by 89 (sum of weights) is 89, and 89 divided by 11 is 8 with remainder111;thus 1 is the check digit. This is a way to test a VIN-check algorithm.

VIN scanning

edit

The VIN is marked in multiple locations: normally in the lower corner of the windshield on the driver's side, under thebonnetnext to the latch, at the front end of the vehicle frame, and inside the door pillar on the driver's side.[13]On newer vehicles VINs may be optically read withbarcode scannersor digital cameras, or digitally read viaOBD-II.[14]There are smartphone applications that can pass the VIN to websites to decode the VIN.[15]
