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 cited JSON object containing: list of open NHTSA recalls, aggregated complaint counts (crashes, fires, injuries, deaths), the NCAP 5-star safety rating, and a deterministic risk score — all sourced and attributed, presented as risk indicators.
Example use cases
Used car safety check before purchase
“I'm looking at buying a used 2016 Honda Civic from a dealer. Can you run a safety report on it so I know about any recalls, complaints filed against that model year, and what the crash test rating is? I need to feel confident about this purchase.”
Fleet vehicle safety screening
“We're about to add ten vehicles to our company fleet. Can you pull safety reports for each one by VIN so I can see which ones have open recalls or high complaint counts? I want to make sure we're not bringing in any problem cars.”
Recurring vehicle safety monitoring
“I own a 2018 Ford F-150. Can you check if there are any new recalls on it and give me the full safety picture — complaints, NCAP rating, everything — so I know if I need to get anything fixed or if there's something I should be worried about?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://api.agentstools.dev/safety/vehicle?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need a single, consolidated vehicle safety report fusing NHTSA recalls, complaint history, and NCAP ratings into one scored JSON — ideal for pre-purchase due diligence, safety screening, or any agent workflow needing structured risk indicators without having to query NHTSA, complaint databases, and NCAP separately.
Side effects
- VIN not found or invalid (not 17 characters) returns an error
- Make/model/year combination not recognized in NHTSA database
- No recall data available for very old or obscure vehicles
- NCAP rating unavailable for certain model years or non-US market vehicles
- Missing required query parameters (neither VIN nor make+model+year provided)
