International VIN — FAQ
How do I decode a International VIN for free?
Enter your International’s 17-character VIN in the tool above. It returns the model, year, body style, engine and assembly plant decoded from NHTSA’s public database — no signup or payment.
Where is the VIN on a International?
On most International trucks, check the base of the windshield (driver’s side), the driver’s door jamb, and your registration and insurance documents.
Can I check International recalls by VIN?
You can check open International recalls by model and year with the recall lookup on this page. To confirm whether a specific International still has an unrepaired recall, use the VIN-level tool at NHTSA.gov.
Does the decoder show International trim and options?
Sometimes. NHTSA data includes trim for some International models but not all, and it does not include full option packages — those require the window sticker or a paid build sheet.
