Error code

invalid_vin

Correct the VIN before retrying. The supplied VIN failed the platform's length or character rules.

What happened

A VIN must contain exactly 17 characters using A–Z except I, O, and Q, plus digits 0–9. The rejected value is named in message; the API cannot infer missing or substituted characters.

Do this next

Correct the VIN at its source, preserve leading zeroes, and retry the same VIN operation. Do not guess a replacement character.
