## FAQ

### What does one row contain?

Recall rows have the campaign number, component, summary, consequence, remedy, report date, park-it flag and recall link, and complaint rows have their ID, components, filed and incident dates, crash and fire flags, and injury and death counts.

### Is this official safety information?

Confirm recalls at nhtsa.gov. Not safety advice.

### How do I look up a different vehicle?

Edit \`make\`, \`model\` and \`modelYear\`, or list up to 200 vehicles in \`vehicles\`, and set \`include\` to \`recalls\`, \`complaints\` or \`both\`. Confirm recalls at nhtsa.gov. Not safety advice.

### Does this tell me if one specific car has an open recall?

No, it lists recalls for a make, model and year, and recall status can change, so check one car by its VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. Confirm recalls at nhtsa.gov. Not safety advice.

## 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/lepidata/nhtsa-recalls-complaints.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`).
