## 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-reliability-known-problems-report-d35df352
```

Example prompt: Pull up the reliability and known-problems report for a 2018 Honda CR-V — I want to see common issues, NHTSA complaint patterns, and any recurring mechanical problems before I buy one.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a car buyer or auto agent needs to assess the reliability and problem history of a specific vehicle before purchase, especially when NHTSA complaint data and known failure patterns are needed alongside general reliability analysis. Prefer this over the recall endpoint when you need broader reliability trends rather than just active safety recalls.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or unsupported vehicle year/make/model returns an error or empty results
- Missing required parameters (make, model, year) results in a 400 bad request
- Payment failure via x402 returns a 402 response before data is served
- Very new or rare models may have insufficient complaint data for meaningful analysis
