Do you know what the word 'implicit' means?

Do you think it's possible that Ford, say, has manufacturing records
that show pretty much every type of nut, bolt and switch that
comprised a particular vehicle, identified by its VIN?

Or can you not see past the actual letters and number of it?

Could they be - gasp! - the *manufacturer's* data?  Could you possibly
be about to make a giant mental leap, and connect this concept with my
remarks above about information implicit in a VIN?

Keep going, you've almost got it now.
