NHTSA Vehicle Recall & Complaint Lookup (VIN or Make/Model/Year)

Check any US vehicle for open safety recalls using official NHTSA data. Enter VINs (auto-decoded to make, model and year) or make/model/year, and get clean, structured recall records: campaign number, component, summary, consequence, remedy, "park it" / "park outside" warnings and over-the-air-update flags. Optionally add NHTSA owner complaints (crash, fire, injury and death flags). No API key needed.

Use cases

Used-car dealers and marketplaces: bulk-check inventory VINs for recalls before listing
Fleet managers and rental companies: schedule weekly runs with recallsSinceDate to catch new recalls on your fleet
Insurance, auto repair, warranty and lending workflows
Automotive research and journalism: compare complaint volumes and failure components across models
Feed AI agents / MCP clients with structured vehicle-safety data

Input

Field	Description
`vins`	List of 17-character VINs
`vehicles`	List of `{"make","model","modelYear"}` objects (or `{"vin"}`)
`make` / `model` / `modelYear`	Quick single-vehicle input
`recallsSinceDate`	Only recalls reported on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD)
`includeComplaints`	Also return owner complaints

Notes

Data comes from NHTSA's public recalls, complaints and vPIC APIs (US government, public domain). Recalls are matched by make/model/year, so check the campaign's VIN range with the manufacturer for an exact VIN-level confirmation.
