Canadian Vehicle Identification Numbers (VIN) Counterfeits Primarily Feature Ford Models
Top 10 Most VIN-Cloned Vehicles in Canada Revealed by CARFAX Report
A new report from CARFAX Canada, a leading provider of vehicle history and auto information, has shed light on the prevalence of vehicle identification number (VIN) cloning in the Canadian automotive market. The report, published this week, reveals that Fords are the most cloned vehicles in Canada, with six vehicles from the Ford Motor Company making it onto the list of the top 10 most VIN-cloned vehicles.
According to the report, the Ford F-150 is the most VIN-cloned vehicle in Canada. This popular pickup truck has been a favourite among thieves, who use VIN cloning to sell stolen vehicles with fake VINs. The Ford F-250, Ford F-350, Ford Explorer, Ford Edge, and Ford Escape also appear on the list.
The Ram 1500 series, owned by Stellantis – a company formed from the merger between Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and the PSA Group in 2021 – is the second most VIN-cloned vehicle in Canada. The Jeep Wrangler comes in third, and the Chevrolet Silverado is the fifth most VIN-cloned vehicle.
Vehicle identification number cloning is the act of stealing a VIN from a legally registered vehicle and putting it under another similar-looking stolen vehicle. This practice allows thieves to sell stolen vehicles with fake VINs, making it difficult for buyers to verify the vehicle's history and increasing the risk of buying a stolen vehicle.
It's important to note that the list of the top 10 most VIN-cloned vehicles in Canada, provided by the report, has not been specified. CARFAX Canada did not provide information on the extent or impact of vehicle identification number cloning in Canada.
The country of origin of the car manufacturer that produced the fourth most stolen vehicle in Canada is not provided in the available search results. CARFAX Canada is a part of S&P Global, a leading provider of transparent and independent ratings, benchmarks, and data to the capital and commodity markets worldwide.
In conclusion, the report from CARFAX Canada serves as a reminder of the importance of being vigilant when buying a used vehicle. It's crucial to have the vehicle checked by a reputable dealership or service centre to ensure it has not been stolen or cloned. By taking these precautions, consumers can protect themselves from falling victim to vehicle theft and fraud.
