The numbers behind the charts, as CSVEach file is written from the same figures the charts draw, every time the data update, and opens with a few comment lines that say what it is, where it comes from, the month it runs through and how to cite it. Rates are fractions (0.05 is 5%). The methodology defines every series.
Auto Loan ABS — Delinquency
Share of active loans past due at month end, counted loan by loan across each shelf's deals. Methodology
Auto Loan ABS — Annualized Net Loss
Net losses in the collection month, annualized, over the pool balance, summed across each shelf's deals. Methodology
Auto Loan ABS — First-Time Repossessions

Auto Loan ABS — Recovery on Defaulted Loans

The servicer's gain or loss on the leased vehicles it sold in the month, as a share of the residual value it measures them against, summed across each shelf's deals. Methodology

The macro file carries the dashboard's series whose publishers are US government bodies, the Federal Reserve or
others that allow redistribution; those figures remain their publishers' and should be credited to them as the
source column names them. A few series the Macro page shows under their owners' terms are not in the file;
the file's header lists them.
Links to a file address are welcome. The files are rewritten in place as new data arrive, so a cited “data through” month identifies the vintage. Changes to a definition or to coverage are dated on the changelog.
