## 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 clearcheck-vehicle-recall-lookup-3b3a58b4
```

Example prompt: Can you check if my 2018 Honda Accord is under any active NHTSA recalls — specifically whether there's a do-not-drive or park-outside flag, and what the free remedy is if so?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative NHTSA recall data for a specific passenger vehicle by make, model, and year — especially when do-not-drive urgency flags or free remedy availability matter. Prefer this over generic web searches when you need structured, machine-readable recall records with per-campaign detail. It is not suitable for commercial trucks (use the motor carrier endpoint) or for recalls outside the US NHTSA system.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown make/model/year combination returns zero recalls (not an error, but may mean no NHTSA data exists)
- NHTSA upstream API unavailable — returns a service error
- Missing required query parameters (make, model, modelYear) — returns validation error
- Misspelled make or model may return empty results rather than an error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 Payment Required

## How this service works

Is this car under recall? NHTSA campaigns with the do-not-drive and park-outside flags, hazard and free remedy.

## Output

Returns a structured verdict for the queried vehicle including total recall count, per-campaign details (campaign number, affected component, hazard consequence, free remedy description, do-not-drive boolean, park-outside boolean, over-the-air fix flag, manufacturer, report date), aggregate do-not-drive and park-outside counts, a plain-language verdict, data source attribution, retrieval timestamp, and a disclaimer.
