Last updated: October 2026

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. Know what this vehicle is and think we have it wrong? Report it at POST /v2/feedback, the path in the envelope's links.feedback.
