US Vehicle Recalls & Complaints Scraper (NHTSA) 🚗

Get vehicle safety recalls and owner complaints from the official NHTSA API as clean, normalized records. Query a specific vehicle, an entire make (the Actor auto-discovers every model), or a single recall campaign. No API key.

Built for dealerships, used-car marketplaces, fleet managers, lemon-law attorneys, insurers, extended-warranty providers, and automotive journalists.

✅ What you get

One normalized record per recall or complaint:

Field	Description
`type`	recall / complaint
`id`	NHTSA campaign number or ODI complaint number
`make` / `model` / `modelYear`	Vehicle
`manufacturer`	Manufacturer full name
`component`	Affected component(s)
`summary`	Defect description or owner narrative
`consequence` / `remedy`	Safety risk and fix (recalls)
`reportDate`	Recall report date (ISO)
`doNotDrive` / `parkOutside`	Critical safety flags (recalls)
`overTheAirUpdate`	Fixable via OTA update (recalls)
`crash` / `fire`	Incident flags (complaints)
`injuries` / `deaths`	Casualty counts (complaints)
`incidentDate` / `filedDate`	Complaint dates (ISO)
`partialVin`	Anonymized 11-char VIN (complaints)
`url`	Link to the NHTSA recall page

All dates are normalized to ISO YYYY-MM-DD (NHTSA mixes two different date formats across its endpoints — this Actor fixes that for you).

🔍 Three ways to query

Specific vehicle — make + model + year(s), e.g. Honda Civic 2022
Whole make — leave the model empty and the Actor enumerates every model NHTSA knows for that make and year (exact model names like F-150 SUPER CREW are resolved automatically — a common failure when calling the API by hand)
Campaign number — one recall campaign across every vehicle it covers, e.g. 23V769000

💡 Example: every 2022 Tesla recall + complaint

{
  "dataType": "both",
  "make": "Tesla",
  "modelYears": ["2022"]
}

Returns recalls and owner complaints for every 2022 Tesla model — with do-not-drive flags, crash/fire/injury counts, and full defect descriptions.

🔄 Recurring use

Schedule the Actor weekly for the makes/models you deal in — inventory risk checks for dealers and marketplaces, or new-recall alerts for a fleet.

⚖️ Data source

Official NHTSA API (api.nhtsa.gov) — public US government data. Complaint narratives are consumer-submitted and unverified.
