Building the same list by searching one area at a time tends to miss places, and a missed place looks like a gap in coverage that is not really there. ## Fields - `name`: Manufacturer name, title-cased from NHTSA's record - `legalName`: Manufacturer name exactly as filed with NHTSA - `commonName`: Short name the manufacturer gave NHTSA - `dbaNames`: Names the manufacturer does business as - `address`: Street address the manufacturer filed - `address2`: Second address line (suite, PO box) - `city`: City - `state`: State or province - `zip`: ZIP or postal code - `country`: Country - `phone`: Contact phone the manufacturer filed - `fax`: Contact fax - `email`: Contact email the manufacturer filed - `principalName`: Name of the company's principal (owner, president or CEO) as filed - `principalTitle`: The principal's title - `manufacturerTypes`: NHTSA manufacturer types: completed, incomplete, intermediate or final-stage vehicle manufacturer, alterer, equipment manufacturer, importer - `vehicleManufacturer`: Yes when a type is a vehicle manufacturer or alterer (blank when NHTSA lists no type) - `equipmentManufacturer`: Yes when a type is a manufacturer of motor vehicle equipment (blank when NHTSA lists no type) - `importer`: Yes when a type is an importer (blank when NHTSA lists no type) - `vehicleTypes`: Vehicle types the manufacturer makes (trailer, truck, motorcycle, bus, passenger car...) - `primaryVehicleType`: The vehicle type the manufacturer marked as primary - `weightClasses`: Gross vehicle weight rating range per vehicle type - `equipmentItems`: Equipment items the manufacturer makes (tires, rims, brake hoses, lamps, glazing...) - `equipmentItemCount`: Number of equipment items listed - `otherDetails`: Other details the manufacturer gave NHTSA - `submittedBy`: Person who filed the record - `submittedByTitle`: That person's title - `submittedDate`: Date the record was filed - `lastUpdated`: Date NHTSA last updated the record - `nhtsaManufacturerId`: NHTSA manufacturer id - `rowId`: Row id: NHTSA's manufacturer id - `sourceUrl`: The manufacturer's record in NHTSA's vPIC API - `sourceFile`: NHTSA's manufacturer list call - `sourceDate`: Date the API was read - `directionsUrl`: Google Maps directions link - `updatedDate`: Date the list was built - `address_quality`: complete, no_house_number, po_box, missing_city_or_zip or missing In the header but under 1% filled, so not in this release: latitude, longitude, geo_precision, county, county_fips. ## What we did to this data Standardised 385 state codes, fixed 1 doubled addresses, added coordinates to 1 listings, added the county to 1 listings, flagged 4,267 incomplete addresses and measured 5,191 rows.

Every manufacturer in NHTSA's vPIC manufacturer registry outside the U.S.. Manufacturers of motor vehicles and of equipment covered by federal safety standards file this record with NHTSA under 49 CFR Part 566. Alterers and importers file it too. ### Are these plant addresses? No. Each row is the address the company filed with NHTSA. It is often the head office. A company with several plants has one row. ### Why are some manufacturer types blank? Half of NHTSA's records list no manufacturer type. They are mostly older filings. On those rows the type flags are blank, not No. ### How current is the data? Snapshot built on October 27, 2026. It is a one-time snapshot and is not rebuilt on a schedule. ### How is this data cleaned? Every rebuild runs the same steps and counts what each one changed. For the current file, rebuilt October 27, 2026 from vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov: Merged 0 duplicate listings that had the same business name, street address and ZIP code, keeping every filled-in detail from both (October 27, 2026). Unified 0 city names written more than one way within the same ZIP code (for example with and without a space or an abbreviation) to the US Census Bureau spelling (October 27, 2026). Corrected 0 misspelled city names to the US Census Bureau place name for their ZIP code (October 27, 2026). Set the state on 385 listings to its two-letter US Postal Service code, matched to the US Census Bureau state register (or, for Canadian rows, the ISO province code) (October 27, 2026). Removed the second copy of 1 street addresses that were typed twice in the same field (October 27, 2026). Added map coordinates to 1 listings that had none, from the US Census Bureau address geocoder or, where the street address could not be matched, the centre of the ZIP code (October 27, 2026). Set the county and its federal county code on 1 listings, matched to the US Census Bureau county list from the county the source records, the listing's map point, or its ZIP code area (October 27, 2026). Checked every map point against the state in its address and re-placed 0 points that fell outside that state (October 27, 2026). Flagged 4,267 addresses that are incomplete, a PO box, or missing a house number, in an address quality column (October 27, 2026). Checked that the row count, state count and field completeness published for this file were measured from the file itself (October 27, 2026). ### Isn't this free on vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov? The underlying records are public on vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov. What you pay for is the work between that public release and this file: standardised 385 state codes, fixed 1 doubled addresses, added coordinates to 1 listings, added the county to 1 listings, flagged 4,267 incomplete addresses and measured 5,191 rows. The current file was rebuilt October 27, 2026 from vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov. Doing it yourself means downloading the full release, repeating each of those steps, and repeating them again every time the source updates. ### How complete is each field? Measured on every row of the current file, the share of rows that carry each key field: email 75%, phone 82%, street address 100%, city 98%, state 92%, ZIP code 91%, latitude 0%, longitude 0%. 29 of 42 columns are filled on at least half the rows, and 5 are empty in every row.
