    HOW TO FIND VIN DECODERS Jan. 07, 2009 This document contains the file names followed by motor vehicle manufacturer’s name for a great many of the VIN decoders received by NHTSA since the VIN regulations went into effect on October, 1980. It is not intended for amateur use, and as such is not equipped with the graphical user interfaces that main stream “www” consumer Internet sites are designed with. To use it, using your computer keyboard, hold “CONTROL” and tap “F” This action will bring up a query field. Only use one or two words of a manufacturer’s name when performing this search. It is best to use the second name of Chinese manufacturers as their first name may be a Province. Using the “find next” key stroke, go all the way through the document until you find (and record) every file name associated with your manufacturer. Manually type ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail or just click on this hyperlink. Hold “control” and tap “F” to display the search screen again allowing you to enter the previously discovered “file names.” Double clicking these file names brings up images of the manufacturer’s VIN decoders. NHTSA intends to revise these sites on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays of each month: (1) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/mfrmail (2) ftp://ftp.nhtsa.dot.gov/manufacture (3) www.nhtsa.dot.gov.cars.rules.manufacture Page : 1 Monday May 22, 2006 Docket: 01-022N11-B Comment Date Date of Number Received Submitter/Firm/Subject Pages Document ======= ======= ================= ===== ======== 00001 04/17/1980 KEITH L.
