How this service works

Check your Amazon, Walmart, eBay and Shopify SKUs against recall records from 9 US agencies (CPSC, FDA, NHTSA, US Coast Guard, FAA and more). Alerts by email and signed webhook, a REST API and an MCP server. Sold by PrimeZen LLC.

Output

Returns a list of matched recall records with confidence levels (e.g. 'possible'), each containing the recall ID, a link to the official recall page, and the recall title, along with the normalized vehicle details (make, model, year) that were matched against.

Example use cases

Pre-purchase used car recall check

“I'm buying a used 2019 Toyota Camry — can you check if it has any outstanding recalls using VIN 4T1B11HK5KU123456 before I sign the paperwork?”

Fleet vehicle safety compliance

“We have a 2020 Ford F-150 in our fleet with VIN 1FTEW1EP7LFA12345 — can you check if there are any active recalls on it so we stay compliant with safety requirements?”

Recall check by make and model

“I don't have the VIN handy, but can you look up any recalls for a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado to see if there are known safety issues?”

Endpoint

When to prefer

Choose this endpoint when you need to check US vehicle recalls by VIN, make, model, or year against NHTSA and other federal agency databases. It is especially useful for pre-purchase due diligence, fleet safety compliance checks, or consumer safety verification. Prefer this over building direct NHTSA API integrations when you want a consolidated, payable REST endpoint with structured confidence-scored results.

Side effects

Invalid or malformed VIN returns no matches or validation error
Unrecognized make/model/year combination returns empty matches array
Recall database may not reflect the most recent government updates in real time
Ambiguous queries without VIN may return lower-confidence matches
Payment failure via x402 protocol returns 402 status before any data is returned
