Decoded identity

From the 17-character VIN via NHTSA vPIC

This VIN has not been decoded yet — the unit's carrier, inspection and plate history below is reconstructed from the FMCSA inspection feed regardless.

Decode evidence & sources

Deterministic structure

These fields come directly from VIN positions and the published checksum calculation, with zero store IO.

VIN-level rule claims

Rules published for individual VIN positions beyond the prefix — applied with the WMI, prefix, and model-year guards each rule was validated under. Model-year-scoped rules stay suppressed here because position 10 alone cannot establish the year.
