Manufacturer assembly evidence

Check the exact vehicle
Enter the 17-character VIN and review NHTSA’s plant country, model year and gross vehicle weight rating. The model year is not the year you purchased the vehicle or the tax year in which you deduct interest.
Use GVWR, not curb weight
The limit is strictly below 14,000 pounds. NHTSA may report a range rather than a precise rating. If the range crosses the limit, read the vehicle’s certification label before answering Yes.
Finish with the loan and tax checks
Even if assembly passes, a used purchase, a lease, a nonqualifying loan, or the income phaseout can prevent a deduction. This guide does not certify a model-wide list.
