## 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`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability vextorium-vehicle-safety-recall-lookup-39423472 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Can you check if there are any NHTSA safety recalls for a 2023 Tesla Model 3 — I want to know about any do-not-drive warnings and whether any of them can be fixed with an over-the-air update.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need official US NHTSA recall data for a specific vehicle identified by make, model, and year. It is the right choice when you need structured recall details including OTA-fixability and do-not-drive flags, which are not available from generic web searches. Prefer this over manual NHTSA website lookups when automating vehicle safety checks at scale or enriching vehicle data in an agent pipeline.

## Known failure modes

- No recalls found for the given make/model/year combination — returns empty recalls array
- Invalid or misspelled make/model/year returns no results or an error
- NHTSA data source temporarily unavailable — upstream dependency failure
- Non-US vehicles or makes not recognized by NHTSA may return empty results
- Payment not processed (x402 protocol failure) — request rejected before execution

## How this service works

Safety recall campaigns for a vehicle by make, model and year in the US: affected component, summary, consequence, remedy, date, over-the-air fix and do-not-drive flags. Official NHTSA data.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the vehicle make, model, year, data source (NHTSA), total number of recall campaigns, and an array of individual recall records. Each recall includes: campaign ID, date, affected component, plain-language summary, consequence description, remedy/solution text, a boolean indicating if it can be fixed via OTA software update, and a boolean do-not-drive flag.
