Every Dodge Charger (2015–2023) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 2C3 WMI. The Charger is a gas sedan; this page shows what each character of a Dodge Charger VIN means and gives 4 checksum-valid sample VINs you can drop straight into test fixtures. Synthetic — not real: no scraping, no real-owner data. The generator below is pre-filtered to the Charger.
Each sample below is built from the real 2C3 WMI and the Charger's descriptor, so it decodes to a Dodge Charger of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 2C3CDXBG5FH875863 — a 2015 Dodge Charger:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 2C3 | Marks the VIN as Dodge, built in Canada |
| 4–8 | VDS | CDXBG | Descriptor for the Charger — sedan body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 5 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | F | Code F = 2015 |
| 11 | Plant | H | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 875863 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Dodge Charger VIN read 2C3 — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Dodge, assembled in Canada (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (CDXBG in our seed) describe the Charger itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Charger, 2015 is code F and 2023 is code P. See the 2023 year code or the check-digit math.

A Dodge Charger VIN is 17 characters starting with the 2C3 WMI, for example 2C3CDXBG5FH875863. Positions 4–8 describe the Charger, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 2C3 is the Dodge WMI, positions 4–8 are the Charger descriptor, position 9 verifies the VIN via a mod-11 checksum, position 10 gives the year, position 11 the plant, and 12–17 the serial. Paste any VIN into the decoder to do it automatically.
The Charger in our seed uses the 2C3 WMI (Canada). Any VIN beginning with 2C3 decodes to Dodge.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Dodge 2C3 WMI, and carry the Charger's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Dodge Charger. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
