XML is case sensitive. In your XML, InsClaimsContact's Id attribute
has a capital 'I'; in your call to the VehicleInfo template,
you're trying to select an id attribute (small i) instead. Try:

  <xsl:call-template name="VehicleInfo">
    <xsl:with-param name="id" select="@Id" />
  </xsl:call-template>

[I'd use moded templates here instead; do:

  <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="VehicleInfo" />

and then have:

<xsl:template match="InsClaimsContact" mode="VehicleInfo">
  <b>---Vehicle Details---</b>
  CLAIM ID IS: <xsl:value-of select="@Id"/>
</xsl:template>

but that's just a personal preference.]

Cheers,

Jeni
