Summary
An issue could occur where both the Vehicle VIN generator and validator are refactored in this library (for instance, changing the modulus operator from 11 to 10). This would change both the checksum generator and validator, allowing the test suite to pass, but fundamentally changing (and corrupting) the VIN checksum algorithm.
To protect against this, as well as giving confidence to anyone refactoring the Vehicle VIN generator or validator, several known good and bad VIN checks have been added as tests.
