What is a Carchieve vehicle history report?

A Carchieve report is a complete safety and records check on any U.S. vehicle. Enter the 17-character VIN and you get the decoded vehicle identity and full specifications, every open safety recall, owner-reported complaints by system, official NHTSA crash-test ratings, and a buyer action plan, in one clean report and a downloadable PDF.

How is Carchieve different from a typical VIN lookup?

Carchieve doesn't just dump raw data. It authenticates the VIN, organizes every federal safety record into a buyer-ready dossier, scores the vehicle, and tells you exactly what to inspect, ask and verify before you pay, the way a careful mechanic would read the car.

How fast will I get my report?

Reports are generated in under a minute. As soon as your VIN is checked against the recall, complaint, ratings and identity databases, your report and PDF are ready to view and download.

Can I buy more than one report?

Yes. A single report is $24.99. If you're comparing several cars, the 3- and 5-report bundles save you money per report and the extra credits stay in your account until you use them.

What information do I need to run a report?

Only the 17-character Vehicle Identification Number (VIN). The VIN is on the lower-left corner of the windshield, the driver-side door jamb, and the vehicle title or registration.

Where does the data come from?

Every report is built from authoritative U.S. vehicle databases, including the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) recall, complaint and 5-Star safety-rating programs and the federal VIN product information catalog. Carchieve authenticates the VIN check digit so you know the identity is genuine.

Can I share the report with a seller or mechanic?

Yes. Every report includes a professionally formatted PDF you can download, print, or forward to a private seller, dealer, or mechanic to support your buying decision.

Quick answer

Rotating screen alignment. Customer statement / workshop findings: The gap and fit between the veneer face facia panel of the Bentley rotating display (BRD) and the passenger and drivers side fascia panels may differ from one side to the other Depending on vehicle specification, the chrome brightware strip on the veneer face facia panel of the Bentley Rotating Display (BRD) may appear to be misaligned with the chrome strips on the passenger and/or drivers side fascia panels If the minimum functional gap is not maintained, the operation of the (BRD) unit can be compromised Technical background: The chrome brightware strip is fixed to the veneer face fascia panel (with no separate adjustment) and as such can appear to be misaligned. The veneer face fascia panel relies on fixed location pins that may be out of tolerance Referring to the Measure section, rework the veneer face fascia panel to align the chrome brightware strip and/or the gapping between the BRD and the passenger and drivers side fascia panels If the BRD is partially rotated and unresponsive (e.g not presenting one of the facias) the display must be rotated in order to remove the veneer facia, dials or MMI screen However Manual rotation of the BRD will damage the drive belt and link arm, please raise a DISS query stating the BRD is unresponsive, the DISS query will be evaluated and the BRD unlock procedure will be supplied (If required) Do Not conduct any further work until advised CAUTION: In the event that damage was caused by attempting to rotate the BRD manually without following the BRD unlock procedure the applicable warranty claim may be cancelled

How should a used-car buyer use this bulletin?

Use it as a research signal. Compare it with recalls, owner complaints, service records, a VIN report and an independent inspection before buying.
