Every Ford Fusion (2015–2020) carries a 17-character VIN that begins with the 3FA WMI. The Fusion is a gas sedan; this page shows what each character of a Ford Fusion 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 Fusion.
Each sample below is built from the real 3FA WMI and the Fusion's descriptor, so it decodes to a Ford Fusion of the right model year:

Worked on the sample 3FA6P0H73FR679011 — a 2015 Ford Fusion:
| Position | Section | Value | What it tells you |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1–3 | WMI | 3FA | Marks the VIN as Ford, built in Mexico |
| 4–8 | VDS | 6P0H7 | Descriptor for the Fusion — sedan body, gas powertrain |
| 9 | Check digit | 3 | Mod-11 checksum over the other 16 characters |
| 10 | Model year | F | Code F = 2015 |
| 11 | Plant | R | Assembly-plant code |
| 12–17 | Serial | 679011 | Sequential production number |
Positions 1–3 of every Ford Fusion VIN read 3FA — the World Manufacturer Identifier that marks the vehicle as Ford, assembled in Mexico (North America). After the WMI, positions 4–8 (6P0H7 in our seed) describe the Fusion itself; see the full 17-digit format.
Position 10 encodes the model year. For the Fusion, 2015 is code F and 2020 is code L. See the 2020 year code or the check-digit math.

A Ford Fusion VIN is 17 characters starting with the 3FA WMI, for example 3FA6P0H73FR679011. Positions 4–8 describe the Fusion, position 9 is the check digit, position 10 is the model year, and 12–17 are the serial number.
Read it left to right: 3FA is the Ford WMI, positions 4–8 are the Fusion 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 Fusion in our seed uses the 3FA WMI (Mexico). Any VIN beginning with 3FA decodes to Ford.
No. They are synthetically generated but checksum-valid, use the real Ford 3FA WMI, and carry the Fusion's descriptor and a valid year code — so a decoder returns a Ford Fusion. No real vehicle's VIN is used.
