How this service works
Vehicle safety report by VIN or make/model/year from NHTSA: recall campaigns (vehicle vs aftermarket-equipment, park-it flags), complaint totals (crashes, fires, injuries, deaths, top components), NCAP 5-star ratings, and investigation count. Model-level data -- not VIN-specific open-recall status.
Output
A JSON object containing: vehicle identifiers (make, model, year, VIN if provided); recall summary with count, campaign details (type, park-it flag, component, remedy, consequence, campaign number), counts by type, and park-it/park-outside tallies; complaints summary with total count, fires, crashes, injuries, deaths, recent complaints, and top components; NCAP safety rating variants with overall rating and ESC info; and investigation count with linked action numbers.
Example use cases
Pre-purchase used car safety check
“I'm thinking about buying a 2020 Toyota RAV4 — can you pull the NHTSA safety report so I can see all recalls, any park-it warnings, total complaints including crashes and injuries, and the 5-star safety rating before I make an offer?”
Fleet vehicle recall compliance review
“We have a fleet vehicle that's a 2021 Ford F-150 — can you get the NHTSA recall and complaint summary for it so I can see if there are any active recall campaigns we need to act on and whether any have park-it flags?”
Insurance underwriting vehicle risk assessment
“For underwriting purposes, can you get me the NHTSA safety data for a 2018 Honda CR-V, including total complaints, fires, deaths, top problem components, and the NCAP overall safety rating?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://x402-service-production-e242.up.railway.app/vehicle-safety?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a consolidated NHTSA safety profile — recalls, complaints, ratings, and investigations — in a single call, rather than querying each NHTSA API separately. Best for pre-purchase due diligence, fleet safety compliance, insurance risk assessment, or any agent workflow that needs to surface vehicle safety risk quickly. Note that this returns model-level data; it does not verify whether a specific VIN's recall has been remedied.
Side effects
- Vehicle not found in NHTSA database — returns empty or null results for obscure makes/models
- Model-level data only — cannot return VIN-specific open-recall status even with a VIN provided
- NHTSA API upstream outage — service may return an error or timeout
- Invalid or unrecognized make/model/year combination returns empty results
- Very new model years may have incomplete or missing NCAP ratings
