12.4% of Frontier VINs (about 1 in 8) show a salvage or junk title on an auction lot or listing. Odometer history is also worth checking: 0.8% of VINs have a later reading more than 1,000 miles below an earlier one, a possible rollback, less common than a salvage title. Another 1.7% were sold at auction with a “Not Actual” odometer flag.

On average, 1.88 recall campaigns from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) are on file for a Frontier's model year: campaigns filed against a VIN's model year, averaged over all Frontier VINs we track. That is well below the Nissan average and about half the average across passenger vehicles in the EpicVIN database.
A campaign filed for a model year does not mean the repair is still open on a given car; the decode lists open recalls for the exact VIN.

A Frontier build sheet is not stored in the VIN itself. The 17 characters cover the model year, series, body, engine, and assembly plant, while factory options, packages, and the trim level are recorded by the manufacturer against the VIN. To check options, use a window sticker lookup by VIN (original stickers are mostly available for recent model years), while the decoder shows what is encoded in the VIN.
Figures on this page come from 1,147,034 unique Frontier VINs in the EpicVIN database (296,760,071 VINs in total). Data as of August 29, 2026.
Salvage, title, odometer, damage, and theft figures come from auction and listing records: a proxy rather than title-registry data. Recall exposure is matched to model year using NHTSA campaigns and does not mean a specific car still has an open recall.
Percentages are based on all Frontier VINs; one VIN may appear under several damage types or states.

Enter the 17-character VIN above. The decoder shows the model year, series, body, engine, assembly plant, and open NHTSA recalls. The full report adds title brands, odometer readings, and auction and listing history.
Look on the driver's side of the dashboard by the windshield, on the sticker inside the driver's door jamb, or on the title, registration, and insurance card.
Yes: decoding the model year, series, engine, plant, and open recalls costs nothing and needs no account. A full history report is $24.99 for one VIN.
Option packages are not built into the VIN itself. A window sticker lookup can pull the original sticker by VIN when the manufacturer still provides it, usually for newer model years.
No. The decoder shows what the VIN tells you about the vehicle from the factory. The history report shows what happened later, including title brands, odometer readings, auction sales, damage, and theft records.
