## 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 dopaminedesk-vehicle-recalls-lookup-9b80dfdc
```

Example prompt: Can you check if VIN 1HGCM82633A123456 has any open safety recalls, and let me know if there are any urgent park-it advisories?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative NHTSA recall data for a specific vehicle, either by 17-character VIN or by make/year/model. It is ideal for used-car due diligence, fleet safety audits, automotive lending checks, or any agent workflow that needs structured recall counts and campaign numbers. Prefer this over general web search when you need machine-readable, structured recall data with campaign IDs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed VIN returns an error or empty recall list
- Missing required parameters (no VIN and no make/year/model) results in a validation error
- NHTSA upstream API unavailability may cause timeouts or empty responses
- Unrecognized make or model may return zero results without an explicit error
- VIN decoding failure for non-US vehicles or non-standard VINs

## How this service works

Retrieve current official NHTSA model-level recall campaigns by VIN or by year, make, and model, including park-it warnings and remedies.

## Output

A JSON object with a success flag, total recall count, urgent park-it recall count, and an array of recall records each containing the NHTSA campaign number and the affected vehicle component (e.g. AIR BAGS, FUEL SYSTEM).
