RecallChecker — Vehicle Safety Recalls
Gives Claude a single tool to check U.S. vehicle safety recalls by calling the NHTSA Recalls API with make, model, and year. Returns plain language summaries with campaign numbers, hazard descriptions, remedy info, and links to official notices. The same lookup logic powers both the MCP server and the public web tool at checkrecall.com, so results are consistent across interfaces. Useful when you need to answer "is this car recalled" during research, customer support flows, or any conversation where someone mentions a specific vehicle. No API key required since it wraps a public NHTSA endpoint. Data is cached on Cloudflare Workers KV to keep responses fast.
