VINsight

Recalls are easy to miss, and "vehicle history" apps trap you in per-report pricing for data they can't always deliver. VINsight is different: scan or type a VIN and get the vehicle's specifications, open recalls, NHTSA safety ratings, an owner-complaints summary, and EPA fuel economy & running cost — all free, from official U.S.-government data. Then save your car and let VINsight watch it for new recalls.

Vehicle data only — never personal data. VINsight returns vehicle specifications, recalls, ratings, and fuel data. It never returns a person's name, address, or any personal or owner data, and it is not a tool for locating or surveilling anyone. This is a deliberate, hard product boundary.

What you get — all free

Decode any VIN

Scan the VIN with your camera or type it in. VINsight validates it on your device, then decodes make, model, year, body class, engine, plant, and more from NHTSA's vPIC database.

Open-recall check

VINsight checks the vehicle against NHTSA's recall campaigns and shows what's open — clearly labeled as informational and “as reported.” Free, for every lookup.

Safety ratings, complaints & fuel cost

See NHTSA NCAP crash-test stars, an owner-complaints summary, and the EPA's MPG and estimated annual fuel cost — the honest "what it costs to run," not a made-up market value.

Saved on your device

Keep the vehicles you check in your Garage. Your saved vehicles stay on your device.
