NHTSA recall campaigns for a US vehicle by (make, model, modelYear). Returns every open + historical campaign with the NHTSA campaign number, manufacturer, affected component, plain-English summary/consequence/remedy text, and the parkIt / parkOutside fire-risk advisories. Backed by NHTSA's public recalls database; data is public-domain US government records.
/api/vehicle/recallsPAYMENT-SIGNATURE.The recalls API is a pay-per-call vehicle endpoint built for AI agents and autonomous software. NHTSA recall campaigns for a US vehicle by (make, model, modelYear).
There is no signup and no API key. An agent (or any HTTP client) hits the endpoint, receives an x402 "402 Payment Required" challenge, signs a sub-cent USDC payment on Base or Solana, and retries — the data comes back on the paid request. That makes it a drop-in recalls data source for an agent tool-use loop, an MCP host, or a backend that needs vehicle data on demand without onboarding to yet another vendor portal.
