Reading a Infiniti VIN

A Infiniti VIN follows the same federal 17-character format as every vehicle sold in the US since the 1981 model year. The first three characters are the World Manufacturer Identifier, positions 4–8 are Infiniti's own codes for the model line, body, engine and restraints, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year and position 11 is the assembly plant.

Because positions 4–8 are maker-specific, the decoder above asks NHTSA's vPIC catalog to translate them, then matches the year, make and model to Infiniti's recall campaigns and owner complaints. For a position-by-position walkthrough see how to read a VIN; for the year letter, use the model-year code chart.

Infiniti VIN decoder FAQ

Where is the VIN on a Infiniti?

On a Infiniti car, SUV or light truck, look through the windshield at the driver's-side corner of the dashboard, or read the label on the driver's door jamb. It is also on the title, registration and insurance card. Our guide shows where to find the VIN on each body type.

How do I find the model year from a Infiniti VIN?

Look at the 10th character. For cars, SUVs and light trucks, a letter in position 7 means the 2010–2039 cycle and a number means 1980–2009, so the same letter can point to two years 30 years apart.

Does a Infiniti VIN decoder show recalls?

It shows the recall campaigns NHTSA lists for that Infiniti model year (98 campaigns across the Infiniti models in our data). Whether your specific vehicle still needs a repair is only shown by NHTSA's VIN lookup or a Infiniti dealer.

Which Infiniti models have the most complaints filed with NHTSA?

In our data: G35 (1,352), QX60 (588), QX56 (538). Counts are owner reports across all model years, not failure rates; popular models draw more reports.

Data sources

Processing

  • We send your VIN to NHTSA vPIC and show the fields it returns; empty fields are hidden by default.
  • Recalls and complaints are matched by the decoded year, make and model, not by your VIN.

Limitations

  • Complaint counts are owner reports, not verified findings or failure rates. There is no sales denominator.
  • Recall campaigns are listed for the model year. Only NHTSA and the automaker know whether a specific car was repaired.
  • Recent model years are still collecting reports.
