# NHTSA Recalls by Make, Model and Year: Bulk Recall Lookup

**Use case:** 

NHTSA recalls by make, model and year, without needing a VIN. List the vehicles you care about and get every official safety recall campaign for each one, with the affected component and a plain summary of the defect. Useful for fleet managers, insurers, and used car dealers checking a whole inventory at once. Add or swap vehicles to build your own recall watchlist.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/getascraper/nhtsa-vehicle-intelligence-monitor.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
