Paste vehicle VINs in bulk and get every open safety recall for each one. Each VIN is decoded to its make, model and year, then checked against NHTSA, the US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration — one record per VIN, charged per VIN.

What does the Automotive Recall Scraper do?

  • Takes VINs in bulk. Paste a list, upload a file, or point at a Google Sheet. Each VIN comes back as one record.
  • Decodes every VIN to its make, model and model year, so you do not have to supply them.
  • Returns every recall NHTSA lists for that vehicle, with the NHTSA campaign number, a summary, the safety risk, the remedy and the manufacturer's notes.
  • Answers for every VIN. A VIN with no open recalls comes back with an empty recall list — a valid, charged answer — so a batch never silently drops a VIN.
  • Returns everything NHTSA publishes. Nothing is filtered out, so your own matching or cleaning rules stay yours.

What you get per VIN

FieldDescription
vinThe VIN you asked about.
make, model, modelYearDecoded from the VIN.
recallCountHow many recalls this vehicle has.
recalls[]One entry per recall, each with the fields below.

Each recall entry carries:

FieldSource
nhtsaRecallNumberNHTSA campaign number, e.g. 19V060000.
summaryWhat is being recalled and why.
safetyRiskThe safety risk the defect creates.
remedyHow the manufacturer will fix it.
manufacturerNotesThe manufacturer's notes, e.g. how to reach them.
manufacturerRecallNumberThe manufacturer's own recall number. Per-VIN OEM data — see below.
recallStatusWhether this specific VIN's recall is still open or has been completed. Per-VIN OEM data — see below.
additionalPropertiesEverything else NHTSA publishes: component, report date, park-it / park-outside / over-the-air-update flags.

Per-VIN recall status

manufacturerRecallNumber and recallStatus are per-VIN values that come from the vehicle manufacturer, not from NHTSA's public recall feed, which is at the make/model/year level. They are returned as null from the NHTSA lookup and are filled by the manufacturer/OEM recall source when it is enabled for your run.

Quick start

  1. Paste your VINs into VINs, one per line — or upload a file, or point at a Google Sheet.
  2. Optionally set Maximum VINs, which caps the run.
  3. Click Start and export the dataset to JSON, CSV, Excel or XML.

Input parameters

FieldTypeDescription
vinsarrayThe VINs to look up — one row per recall.
sourcesarrayWhich sources to use: nhtsa, carfax, or both (default). NHTSA gives the full recall list with notes; CARFAX adds the per-VIN open/closed status and the manufacturer recall number.
maxResultsintegerStop after this many VINs. Optional — leave empty to look up every VIN you provided.

Output is one row per recall (a VIN with no recalls still returns one row stating that), charged once per VIN.
