What It Does and How It Works
You can use the online VINlink decoder to validate the accuracy of any vehicle's VIN. Using a built-in, check-digit algorithm, VINlink performs a calculation to confirm if a VIN is accurate. If it's inaccurate, the decoder alerts you so you can have it corrected.
You can decode any VIN as long as it contains accurate attributes for a given make, model and model year combination. You can decode VINs for cars, light trucks, motorcycles, all-terrain vehicles and snowmobiles. VINlink decoder finds all dependencies among attributes, including:
- Make and model description
- Engine
- Model year
- Body style
- Restraint systems
- Manufacturing plant
- Country of manufacture
