## Guide library
https://thevinlookup.online/guides contains 20 articles about VIN structure, decoding, recalls, remedies, campaign identifiers, and used-car safety research.

## Data and limitations
Vehicle decoding uses the official NHTSA vPIC API. Recall campaigns use the documented NHTSA public recalls API. Year/make/model campaign results do not prove that a specific VIN is affected or that a remedy remains open. Users should verify exact-VIN status through NHTSA or the vehicle manufacturer. The site does not provide accidents, title brands, owners, liens, insurance claims, auction photos, or service history.

## Independence
VIN Lookup is not affiliated with NHTSA or the U.S. Department of Transportation.
