❓ Frequently Asked Questions (USA & Canada)

How does this tool decode Canadian vehicles vs USA vehicles?
Canadian-assembled vehicles are designated with the number '2' at the 1st position of the VIN (e.g. 2T1/2T3 for Toyota Canada, 2HG for Honda Canada, 2F for Ford Oakville, 2C for Chrysler Windsor). CarsFixer queries both the U.S. NHTSA VPIC database and Transport Canada's Canadian Vehicle Specifications (CVS) dataset to provide complete metrics including metric dimensions (cm/kg) and market valuations in both USD and CAD.
How is the 9th character ISO 3779 Check Digit calculated?
The 9th character is a mathematically calculated check digit enforced by standard ISO 3779. Each character in positions 1 through 17 is multiplied by a specific weight coefficient, added together, and divided by 11. The remainder corresponds to position 9 (values 0-9 or 'X'). If the calculation fails, it flags a typo or illegal VIN alteration.
Where can I find my vehicle's 17-digit VIN?
Your VIN is stamped on the driver-side dashboard visible through the lower edge of the windshield glass, on the driver-side B-pillar door jamb label, on vehicle ownership title documents, and on provincial/state insurance cards.
Why are letters 'I', 'O', and 'Q' prohibited in VIN numbers?
To prevent optical confusion with numbers 1 and 0, international regulations strictly prohibit the letters I, O, and Q in standard 17-digit Vehicle Identification Numbers.
