How this service works
Vehicle safety and recall check for a car, by make/model/year or by VIN. Fuses NHTSA open recalls, a complaint summary (crash, fire, injuries, deaths) and the 5-star NCAP safety rating into one cited JSON with a deterministic risk score. Risk indicators, not advice.
Output
A JSON object containing a list of open NHTSA recalls, a complaint summary broken down by crash, fire, injury, and death counts, the NCAP 5-star safety rating, and a deterministic risk score — all with citations to the underlying government data sources.
Example use cases
Example prompt
“Can you check if a 2018 Honda Accord has any open recalls or safety complaints, and give me its NCAP rating and overall risk score?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://payai.agentstools.dev/safety/vehicle?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a comprehensive, pre-aggregated vehicle safety snapshot combining recalls, complaints, and crash test ratings in one call. Prefer it over querying NHTSA directly when you want a deterministic risk score and complaint breakdown (crashes, fires, injuries, deaths) without building your own aggregation logic. Ideal for pre-purchase used car checks, fleet safety audits, or any consumer-facing safety advisory workflow.
Side effects
- Vehicle make/model/year combination not found in NHTSA database — returns empty or null recall/rating fields
- Invalid or malformed VIN (must be 17 characters) — returns validation error
- Vehicle year out of supported range (1949–2030) — rejected by schema
- NHTSA or NCAP data temporarily unavailable — may return partial results or upstream error
- Missing required query parameters (no VIN and no make/model/year) — returns 400-level error
