![]() In 2003, the NHTSA excluded off-road vehicles from the VIN system, which would present a problem for the registration or insurance of these vehicles. Though it may not be compatible with more stringent NHTSA VIN requirements. The NHTSA standard does not address "off-road" vehicles, however, you will find that most large manufacturers of these vehicles assign a 17 digit identification number that is compatible with the ISO VIN Standard. When "on-road" use is intended by the manufacturer, the vehicle will be assigned a 17 digit VIN. These "off-road" vehicles are not under NHTSA jurisdiction unless they are created with the intent to include "on-road" use.
