What this example returns

The dataset’s “Recalls” view shows 5 columns: VIN, Year, Make, Model, and recalls. See every output field.

What each setting does

The input this example runs VIN Decoder with. “Try this input” opens it in the console, where you can run it as-is or change any field first.

VINs vins

1HGCM82693A004310, 1HGCM82603A004311, 1HGCM82623A004312, 1HGCM82643A004313, 1HGCM82663A004314, 1HGCM82683A004315, 1HGCM826X3A004316, 1HGCM82613A004317, 1HGCM82633A004318, 1HGCM82653A004319, 1FTFW1ET5DFC10310, 1FTFW1ET7DFC10311, 1FTFW1ET9DFC10312, 1FTFW1ET0DFC10313, 1FTFW1ET2DFC10314, 1FTFW1ET4DFC10…

17-character Vehicle Identification Numbers, one per line. Lower case, spaces and dashes are fine. Add a model year after a VIN ("1HGCM82633A004352 2003") when you know it; it helps with VINs whose year code is ambiguous. Duplicates are decoded once. There is no limit on how many VINs one run decodes.
