How this service works
US safety recalls for a VIN, deterministic. Answers "does this car have open recalls", "is this used car safe to buy", "what NHTSA campaigns cover this vehicle". Decodes the VIN via NHTSA vPIC (year, make, model, body, engine) then lists every NHTSA recall campaign for that vehicle: component, summary, remedy, park-outside and do-not-drive flags. No LLM, no key, public domain.
Output
Returns the decoded vehicle identity (year, make, model, body style, engine) plus a list of every matching NHTSA recall campaign, each with the affected component, recall summary, remedy description, and boolean flags indicating whether the vehicle should not be driven or parked outside due to fire/safety risk.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you check if the car with VIN 1HGBH41JXMN109186 has any open NHTSA safety recalls — especially any do-not-drive or park-outside flags?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://autopulse.theaslangroupllc.com/api/auto/vin-recallWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need deterministic, authoritative NHTSA recall data for a specific VIN — ideal for used car purchase decisions, pre-inspection checklists, or safety screening. Prefer this over general automotive APIs when you need exact recall campaign data with park-outside and do-not-drive severity flags. No API key required and results are fully public domain.
Side effects
- Invalid or malformed VIN returns an error or empty result
- VIN not found in NHTSA vPIC database (e.g. non-US vehicles)
- No recalls found returns an empty list (not an error)
- NHTSA upstream service unavailable causes 502/503
- VIN check digit validation failure
