## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```

Example prompt: Can you check if there are any NHTSA safety recalls on my 2020 Chevrolet Silverado?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when an agent needs authoritative NHTSA safety recall data for a specific vehicle identified by make, model, and year. It is ideal for pre-purchase vehicle research, fleet safety compliance checks, or consumer safety awareness workflows. Prefer this over general web search when structured, reliable recall data is needed without scraping or parsing HTML.

## Known failure modes

- No recalls found for the given make/model/year combination (may return empty result, not an error)
- Invalid or unrecognized make/model string returns an error or empty results
- Year out of supported range (below 1950 or above 2100) is rejected by schema validation
- Misspelled make or model name may yield no results
- NHTSA upstream data source unavailable causing timeout or error
