Free Daewoo VIN Decoder & Lookup

What is a VIN Number?

How to Find It

Finding your Daewoo's VIN is straightforward. Here’s where to look:

• Passenger Cars: Check the front of the dashboard on the driver's side. View it from outside the vehicle through the windshield. Also, inspect the driver's side door pillar—open the door to find the VIN where the door latches.
• SUVs: Look in similar locations as passenger cars, focusing on the driver's side door pillar and the front of the dashboard.

If you're unable to locate the VIN on your Daewoo, it can also be found on:

• Your vehicle's title documents.
• Liability insurance documents.

How to Check a Specific Number

Enter your Daewoo's 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) in the field above to obtain detailed information about your vehicle. This will include the manufacturer, brand, make and model, body style, engine specifications, assembly plant, and model year. The data is provided by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) using information from vehicle manufacturers.
