⭐ 2 shipments since my last update. Sorry, been busy.

VIN Decoding does not equal Registration. I'm looking for the official Honda registration letter. Here's an example of the 2026 Ridgeline registration. I can replace the T in your vin with a V (2027) and get the 2027 decoding result. No 2027 models have been registered. You also have a M in...

My personal opinion - there is no 2026. The strongest indicator being that the annual VIN Requirement hasn't been registered with the NHTSA yet. I'm aware of the dealer network screenshot floating around. While I don't work on that system specifically, I will say that I've seen system admins...

FK8 didn’t pass through the west coast ports so I don’t have the data for that for analysis. 23-24 FL5 did not run as long as 25.

Can be anywhere from 2-40 days from landing. Depends on how busy the port yard is, how busy truck and rail lines are. PM me the last 4 of the vin and I can tell you when it leaves port.

⭐ 1 new shipment added. No sight of MY2026.

Vessel Manifest Search - I have limited access to the data on this site.

As far as I know, most (95%+) U.S market MY2025 FL5s are processed through Richmond, California. I do not see any evidence that FL5s are processed at Vancouver WA, Portland OR, Long Beach CA nor Hueneme CA. Vancouver WA did receive 1600+ Subarus today so I’m willing to bet it was the same...

FL5s are processed at the Port of Richmond, California. Port of Vancouver are likely Subarus but don’t quote me on that.

Correct.

Just my opinion - could be some variation of these reasons or none of these reasons at all - uncertainty around tariffs back in April pushing shipment schedules, new production of other models (FL4, BF1) at the Saitama plant pushing FL5 production schedules, increasing FL5 production than prior...

Yes, still 2025. Did not see any 2026 FL5. A bunch of 2026 Preludes are in the same shipment though.

⭐ 1 new shipment added.

No. Haven’t seen anything new.

?? means the port's system didn't capture the color which just happens sometimes. Nothing special about those.
