## 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 autopulse-vehicle-recall-lookup-728b3718
```

Example prompt: Check if there are any open safety recalls on a 2020 Ford F-150 — the VIN is 1FTFW1ET4LFA12345 — and include any international recall notices from the UK or Canada too.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs to verify vehicle safety recall status before a car purchase, ownership check, or insurance assessment — especially when VIN-level precision or international recall coverage is needed. Prefer over generic web search when structured, authoritative NHTSA data and multi-country recall context are required.

## Known failure modes

- VIN not found or invalid format returns empty recall list or error
- Year/make/model combination not recognized returns no results
- No open recalls found returns empty array (not an error)
- NHTSA API unavailable causes upstream timeout
- Malformed VIN (wrong length or characters) returns validation error
