## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability clearcheck-vehicle-complaints-lookup-c71cf620
```

Example prompt: Can you pull up the NHTSA owner complaint history for a 2019 Ford F-150 — I want to know the total complaint count, what parts are failing most, and whether any crashes or fires were reported?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, aggregated NHTSA owner complaint data for a specific vehicle — especially when evaluating safety history before purchasing a used car, auditing a fleet vehicle, or investigating known failure patterns. It is better than raw NHTSA API access because it pre-aggregates component rankings, crash/fire/injury totals, and provides a verdict summary in one call.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or misspelled make/model/year returns no results or an empty complaint list
- Very new model years may have no NHTSA data yet
- Rare or low-volume vehicles may have zero complaints on record
- API timeout if NHTSA upstream is slow
- Invalid modelYear format (non-integer) causes schema validation error

## How this service works

What do owners report failing on this car? NHTSA complaint counts, top components, and crash, fire and injury totals.

## Output

Returns a structured verdict object with the vehicle's total NHTSA complaint count, a ranked list of top failing components with complaint tallies, aggregate crash/fire/injury/death totals, a sample of individual complaint records (with ODI number, date, components, summary, crash/fire/injury flags), a verdict string, disclaimer, and timestamp of data retrieval.
