What is it, and what does somebody else owe you?

Type a VIN. You get what the vehicle actually is, the safety recalls open on that model – free to fix, for the life of the vehicle – and the repairs federal law makes the maker pay for. No account, nothing to install.

The VIN is on the driver's door sticker, the bottom corner of the windscreen, and your insurance card. It is sent to NHTSA (the U.S. safety regulator) to look up – Drive DTC doesn't keep it.
