Check one or more vehicle make, model, and year combinations against NHTSA's official recall data. Designed for used-car research agents, dealer intake, fleet screening, and automotive support workflows.
Who this helps
Used-car shoppers, dealers, and fleet teams checking official safety recall records for specific vehicles.
Input
Provide 1-50 vehicles: { "vehicles": [ { "make": "Honda", "model": "Accord", "modelYear": 2018 }, { "make": "Ford", "model": "F-150", "modelYear": 2021 } ] }
The Actor returns one check row per vehicle, including a zero-result row when the source reports no recalls, followed by one row per recall. Records include campaign number, affected component, summary, consequence, remedy, source URL, and retrieval time. It queries sequentially and deduplicates repeated campaigns within a vehicle response.
Important limits
This is a make/model/year lookup. It does not establish whether a specific VIN is affected, whether a recall repair was completed, or whether a vehicle is safe to operate. Confirm VIN-level applicability and remedy completion with an authorized dealer or the NHTSA VIN lookup before purchase or service decisions.
The NHTSA API is public and intended for dynamic public safety searches. NHTSA cautions against bulk VIN lookups; this Actor does not perform VIN lookups. One bounded API request is made per vehicle combination.

AI agent use
An agent can use this Actor as a pre-purchase safety-screen tool, then present the exact NHTSA source links and ask the user to verify any VIN-specific result. Keep the tool description clear that a model-year recall match is not an affected-VIN determination.
