About Fiat
Fiat is an Italian automaker known for small, stylish city cars like the 500. Decode any Fiat VIN to confirm build details and check for open recalls.
Fiat vehicles are decoded using the NHTSA vPIC public API. Every 17-character Fiat VIN identifies the country of manufacture (positions 1–3, the World Manufacturer Identifier or WMI), the model, body style and engine (positions 4–8), a check digit (position 9), the model year (position 10), the assembly plant (position 11) and the unique serial number (positions 12–17). Combine a VIN decode with a free recall check before you buy any used Fiat. For the make-specific breakdown, see the free Fiat VIN decoder guide.
How to read a Fiat VIN
A Fiat VIN is a 17-character code. The first three characters, the WMI (World Manufacturer Identifier) — identify the country and manufacturer. The 10th character encodes the model year (e.g. K = 2019, L = 2020, M = 2021, N = 2022, P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025). Enter your VIN in the decoder above and VinSpecs returns the exact Fiat build sheet in seconds, including engine, transmission, drivetrain, restraints and assembly plant.

Where is the VIN on a Fiat?

What is the Fiat WMI code?

Which Fiat model years can I decode?
