Vehicle Recalls API
Every US vehicle recall since 1967 and 2.24 million owner complaints, straight from NHTSA and self-hosted: 30,271 recall campaigns with defect, consequence and remedy summaries, units affected, completion rates and the high-signal do-not-drive and fire-risk-when-parked flags — plus the applicability data that answers the question drivers actually ask: which recalls affect a 2019 Honda CR-V? 178k campaign-to-vehicle rows let you query recalls by make, model and year directly; every campaign links to its nhtsa.gov page and lists its affected vehicles. The complaints side adds the safety story: search 2.24M owner complaints by vehicle, component, state or crash/fire involvement, and pull a one-call safety profile per vehicle — total complaints, crashes, fires, injuries, deaths and the top complained-about components (the 2014 Jeep Cherokee's POWER TRAIN, the Bolt EV's ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). Refreshes daily from official NHTSA feeds — new campaigns appear the day NHTSA receives them. Built for dealerships, used-car marketplaces, insurance, fleet tools and consumer apps. Public-domain source data; self-hosted — no third-party calls at request time.
