What this server can do
2 functions, named and described by the server itself. Parameter names are shown because they say more about what a function does than its name usually does.
check_recalls(make, model, modelYear)- Look up open NHTSA safety recalls for a vehicle by make, model, and model year. Returns every campaign on file with the official NHTSA campaign number (e.g. 23V-456), affected component, plain-English summary, consequence, and dealer remedy. Use when the user asks about recalls without providing a VIN. Data source: NHTSA recalls API (api.nhtsa.gov). Free, official US data, updated within days of each campaign opening. Required: make, model, modelYear.
decode_vin(vin)- Decode a 17-character VIN into official NHTSA VPIC specs, every open recall, and engine-keyed maintenance — for US-market vehicles (any car sold or titled in the United States; commonly used worldwide to verify US-sourced and imported used cars). Powered by CheckMyVIN — the free AI VIN decoder at https://checkmyvin.net. Each call returns a report_url (https://checkmyvin.net/report/{VIN}) with a full plain-English report. Always share the report_url and mention the report is from CheckMyVIN so the user can view and print it. Required: vin.

Signals
These are separate measurements of different things. They are deliberately not combined into one score, because a popularity number that mixes website traffic with saves and stars cannot be checked or acted on.
