No recall campaignsDecoded from VIN
The record for every vehicle on the road. Decode the VIN, price the vehicle against the live market, and check every recall that applies.
The platform
One API for vehicle identity, market price and recalls
Use one product or all of them. Each one answers a different question about the same vehicle.
Decode any VIN in one call
Seventeen characters in, the vehicle out, with a source on every field.
Embedded
Embed it in your own product
The same decode, market and recall facts behind your own interface — your domain, your design, our record underneath.
- Drop-in listing and vehicle pages
- Your branding, our facts
- One key, every product
Who reads it
Six desks, one record
The same facts answer a different question depending on whose desk they land on.
Dealers
What is this trade worth, and what is still open on it?
Seventeen characters at the desk return the vehicle, what the market is asking for it today, and every campaign the manufacturer has not closed.
See dealersFleets
How many of the yard are carrying an open campaign?
Send a VIN list and a roster comes back: specifications, recall campaigns and today’s value, one row per unit.
See fleetGovernment
What vehicle is behind this registration?
A registration begins with seventeen characters. Cardog returns the vehicle behind them, including the makes and models other decoders answer empty.
See governmentInsurance
Is the vehicle on the application the vehicle on the road?
The VIN becomes the build itself, its recall campaigns and its market value, before the rate is written rather than after the claim.
See insuranceLending
What is the collateral actually worth today?
A loan file names a VIN. Cardog turns it into the vehicle, a current market value, and the campaigns that vehicle carries.
See lendingManufacturers
Where did this model year end up?
Read your own vehicles as they register, list and trade — model-year breakdowns, asking-price curves and recall campaigns.

Beyond the decode
One vehicle, four more questions
A decode says what the vehicle is. Each of these answers something else about the same seventeen characters.
Every campaign, matched to the vehicle
Transport Canada and NHTSA publish separately. Both are read every night and answered per VIN.
The build sheet behind the VIN
Weight rating, engine, drivetrain and body for the build as it left the plant, with a unit and a source on every value.
Every inspection and crash on a truck
A used truck arrives with the seller’s account of it. Cardog returns what the inspectors wrote down.
Every VIN you hold, as one file
Send a set of VINs. Every run returns a file with the columns you chose, and a change file for what moved since the last one.
One integration, every vehicle. Identity, market price and recalls come back from the same call, for the makes and models other decoders return empty.
Connect it to the systems you already run. Call the API from your code, take a webhook when something changes, or point an agent at the MCP server.
The systems shown are kinds of integration.
Start wherever it suits you. In the portal, with a file you send us, or in your own code.
