VIN Decoder & Workshop Manual Finder geliştiren: Work Shop Manual Org

Decode any 17-character VIN to see vehicle specs, open NHTSA recalls, and the matching workshop manual — all in one click.

What it does

• Paste any VIN — instantly decode the year, make, model, trim, engine, transmission, plant of origin, and 90+ other data points using NHTSA's official vPIC database
• See every open safety recall reported by NHTSA, color-coded by severity. Each recall links directly to the official NHTSA campaign page
• View the most-reported owner complaints for that exact vehicle, grouped by component (engine, transmission, brakes, electrical)
• Get the workshop manual for your specific year, make, and model — full step-by-step procedures, torque specs, wiring diagrams, and fault code lookups

Buyer's overlay on car listings

When you're browsing used cars on eBay Motors, AutoTrader, Cars.com, Facebook Marketplace, or Craigslist, the add-on automatically detects the VIN in the listing and shows a quick verdict:

• Clean — no open recalls
• Check — recalls reported, review before buying
• Caution — serious recalls (airbags, brakes, fuel system)

Spot a problem car before you waste a trip to see it.

Privacy

Data sources
