Looking for the VIN?
Here is there you’ll find it:
A Honda vehicle identification number (VIN) is a unique 17-character identifier. It reveals your vehicle's factory specifications and hidden history. Using our free VIN decoder helps you make informed decisions about your transportation investment. Note that users are unable to access full historical data without upgrading to the premium report. However, basic security verification remains free.
Follow these steps to obtain complete vehicle details:
Your Honda's vehicle identification number appears in several standard locations. Common spots include:
| Metric | What it Means |
|---|---|
| Vehicles with accident history – 34% | EpicVIN's audit of ≈ 1.2 million Honda reports shows one in three cars carries at least one crash/damage record. |
| Flood/water titles | Post-2024 storm tracking indicates ≈ 347,000 flood-damaged vehicles have been re-registered nationwide. Many are now listed far from the disaster zones. |
| Typical annual mileage – ≈ 11,700 mi | Registration and odometer data reveal the Accord averages ≈ 11.7k mi per year in its first decade. So, a six-year-old Honda with ~70k mi is right on target. |
| Largest active campaign (2025) | Campaign 23V-158 (seat-belt buckle) affects 448,613 Accord, CR-V, Odyssey, RDX, and other models; a quick VIN check confirms whether repairs are complete. |
| Problem | Scope & Details |
|---|---|
| Fuel-pump failure | Dec 2023—Recall 23V-858 pulled 2,539,902 2017-2020 Honda/Acura models (Accord, CR-V, Civic, etc.). A deformed impeller can stall the engine; dealers replace the pump module free. |
| CVT belt wear/shudder | Service bulletin 21-047 extends CVT coverage on ~445,000 HR-V 2016-2020. Slipping or vibration often appears past 60k mi. |
| Oil dilution (1.5 T) | Wards reports ~400k CR-V 2017-18 and ~517k Civic 2016-18 with the 1.5-liter turbo can suffer fuel-in-oil in cold climates. Campaigns 18-114/124 flash the ECU and change oil. |
Tip: Before purchasing a used Honda, run the VIN number through EpicVIN — the report will show whether the car falls under these mass campaigns or hides expensive repairs.
