What is a Vehicle Frame Number?

[PiperAnn]

The frame number, abbreviated as VIN, is a unique combination of seventeen alphanumeric characters assigned to a vehicle. This number provides relevant information about the vehicle. The VIN is typically located on the door lock pillar or one of the door edges that connect to the lock pillar. If space is insufficient, it may be found elsewhere. If consumers cannot locate it, they can refer to the vehicle's user manual. The functions of the VIN are as follows: 1. Identifying the vehicle, especially in specific situations where accurate recognition is required; 2. Traffic violation inquiries, which require entering the VIN; 3. Vehicle batch inquiries, such as determining whether the vehicle falls within a recall range.
