Car Codebook

Car Codebook is a free VIN check for US-market vehicles. Enter a 17-character VIN, or pick a year, make and model, and see the decoded specs straight from NHTSA's vPIC, every NHTSA safety recall campaign (with do-not-drive warnings flagged), owner complaints, the original window sticker for Ford, Lincoln, GM and Stellantis brands, and the fastest legitimate route to the factory build sheet for 30 brands. No signup, no paywall and no fake "records found" teasers. Built as a side project by an engineer who got tired of VIN sites that hide public data behind a paywall.
