US assembly passes · year/new-vehicle signal does not

PlantCountry is UNITED STATES (USA), so the US-assembly test passes. The year/new-vehicle signal does not: used vehicles do not qualify. This is not a determination that any loan is deductible.

Separate data checks

Plant-country and year are data checks. Other IRS gates remain. This page does not say the loan is deductible or that you qualify.

How this check works

Public NHTSA campaigns, not a repair shop

Paste or scan a 17-character VIN. The server asks NHTSA vPIC, then the same public recall, safety, and complaint feeds already used on the homepage. There is no second API and no invented campaign count.

Campaigns are listed for the model year, make, and model. That is not proof a given VIN is still open or already repaired. Completion can lag. Confirm with a dealer and safercar.gov.

Plant country and the car-loan assembly gates sit lower on the same report if you need them. US final assembly VIN checker. Not tax advice.

FAQ

Common questions

What does this VIN recall check show?

The same free NHTSA decode as the homepage. After vPIC, we pull public recall campaigns for that model year, make, and model. Open-campaign count and summaries lead this page. We do not invent recall totals.

Is this proof the recall is still open on my VIN?

No. NHTSA lists campaigns for the model year / make / model. Completion on a specific VIN can lag or be missing. Confirm with a dealer and safercar.gov before you buy or drive.

Do you fix or close recalls?

No. AssemblyAlert lists public campaigns. We do not repair vehicles, schedule dealer work, or close recalls.

Is the recall check free?

Yes. Paste or scan the VIN. Recalls by VIN description are free public NHTSA data. The optional $4 purchase is a dated PDF of those open campaigns plus the window-sticker spec sheet — not a recall repair.

What about US assembly and the car-loan interest rules?

Plant country and the OBBBA assembly checks are on the same report, one scroll down. They are not the lead here. This page is not tax advice and never says a loan is deductible.
