## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability agentrxi-vin-decoder-with-safety-recall-data-950d8c5f
```

Example prompt: Can you decode this VIN for me — 1HGCM82633A004352 — and tell me if it has any open safety recalls or NHTSA complaints I should know about?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a single-call solution that combines VIN decoding with NHTSA safety data (recalls, complaints, crash ratings) rather than calling a bare VIN decoder and a separate safety database. Ideal for pre-purchase due diligence, fleet management, and consumer safety checks on US-market vehicles.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed VIN returns an error or empty result
- VIN for a very old or non-US vehicle may have limited NHTSA data
- Recall and complaint data may lag behind the most recent NHTSA updates
- Non-standard or salvage-title VINs may not decode correctly
- Network timeout or upstream NHTSA API unavailability

## How this service works

Car VIN check: decodes any VIN (year, make, model, trim, engine, drive, plant) and adds the model year's safety recalls, complaint counts by component and NHTSA crash-test ratings.

## Output

Returns decoded vehicle identity data (year, make, model, trim level, engine, drivetrain, assembly plant) plus NHTSA-sourced safety recall records for that model year, complaint counts broken down by component category, and NHTSA crash-test ratings — all in a single JSON response.
