## 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 mcpfax-vehicle-diagnostics-recalls-lookup-8e78456c
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there are any open safety recalls on a 2019 Toyota Camry? I want to know what components are affected and what the remedy is.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to look up NHTSA vehicle safety recall data for a specific car by make, model, year, or VIN. Prefer this over general web search when you need structured recall records with remedy details rather than unstructured articles. Complement with the sibling VIN lookup, DTC, and TSB endpoints for comprehensive vehicle diagnostics coverage.

## Known failure modes

- No recalls found for the given vehicle — returns empty result set
- Invalid or unrecognized make/model/year combination — may return error or empty results
- Malformed request body — returns 400-level error
- Service unavailable or timeout — returns 5xx error
- Payment not processed — returns 402 payment required

## How this service works

Open safety recalls for a vehicle, by make/model/year or by campaign number, as published by the manufacturer's regulator.

## Output

Returns a list of safety recall records for the specified vehicle, including recall identifiers, affected components, descriptions of the safety issue, remedy information, and recall dates as reported by NHTSA.
