Example prompt: Can you check if there are any open NHTSA safety recalls on this VIN: 1FTFW1ET5DFA12345? Show me the full recall text if there are any issues.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need to programmatically check open NHTSA safety recalls for one or more vehicles by VIN with a single API call. It is ideal for pre-purchase vehicle inspections, fleet compliance checks, and consumer safety verification workflows. Prefer it over manual NHTSA website lookups when recall checks need to be automated, batched up to 10 VINs, or integrated into an agent pipeline. The built-in NHTSA spelling normalization makes it more forgiving than raw NHTSA API queries.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed VIN returns an error or empty result
- VIN not found in NHTSA database returns no recalls (vehicle may be too new or not in system)
- Exceeding 10 VINs per call may result in an error or partial processing
- NHTSA upstream service unavailability causes lookup failure
- Incorrect make/model/year spelling may reduce match accuracy (though NHTSA spelling normalization is applied)
