How this VIN pattern is read

A 17-character VIN carries two kinds of information: what was built, and which one it is. This page is the first kind — the nine highlighted positions.

Positions Characters What they encode
1–3 1FD FORD MOTOR COMPANY · World manufacturer identifier
4–8 BF9ZM Model, body style, engine and restraint system
9 × Check digit — computed per vehicle, not part of the build
10 H Model year — 2017
11 × Assembly plant
12–17 ×××××× Production sequence number, unique to each vehicle

NHTSA safety ratings

Frontal crash

★★★★ ★ 4 / 5

18 recall campaigns are recorded for the 2017 Transit. Recalls are issued per VIN range — check the VIN of the car you are looking at, not the model.

Where this data comes from

Specification fields are decoded from the manufacturer's filings in the NHTSA vPIC database, keyed on VIN positions 1–8 and 10. We publish the filed values as they stand and leave out anything the filing does not record.

Vehicle counts come from the 79 VINs of this build we have seen in dealer inventory. They are a sample of the road population, not a production figure.
