About Rivian VINs

Rivian electric vehicles are built in Normal, Illinois; the fuel type decodes as Electric.

This lookup uses NHTSA data for U.S.-market road vehicles from 1981 onward. Coverage and available fields vary by Rivian model and market. Short frame or engine numbers require manufacturer records.

Not every VIN contains trim, transmission or options. Missing data is not proof that a feature is absent.

Rivian VIN — FAQ

How do I decode a Rivian VIN for free?

Enter your Rivian’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 Rivian?

Check the base of the windshield, driver’s door-jamb certification label and registration documents for your Rivian. Placement varies by model.

Can I check Rivian recalls by VIN?

You can check Rivian recall campaigns by model and year with the recall lookup on this page. To confirm whether a specific Rivian still has an unrepaired recall, use the VIN-level tool at NHTSA.gov.

Does the decoder show Rivian trim and options?

Sometimes. NHTSA data includes trim for some Rivian models but not all, and it does not include full option packages — those require the window sticker or a paid build sheet.
