CarsXE Primary fit
CarsXE Lien & Theft Check API

The CarsXE Lien & Theft response decodes a supplied VIN to year, make, model, and body class while also reporting theft-event classifications. This is a bounded identity/specification decode; the cited documentation does not expose decoder/database version, verification timestamp, GVWR, trim, engine, or other broader factory specifications.
