# autozoo recalls

Australian vehicle recall data from vehiclerecalls.gov.au, with a per-VIN lookup
that checks published VIN lists and published VIN ranges.

Public pages:
- /
- /search
- /recalls/<recall-number>
- /agents
- /agents/examples

Machine-readable:
- /agent-capability.json
- /openapi.json
- /llms.txt
- /.well-known/llms.txt
- /sitemap.xml

Allowed use for agents:
- read public recall pages and the official source link on each one
- check a VIN through /v1/vins/<vin> or the MCP tool lookup_vin (no auth, no consent)
- check up to 50 VINs through /v1/lookup or lookup_vins (no auth, no consent)
- search the index through /v1/recalls or search_recalls
- send a person to the official notice when a recall matches
- register a VIN for monitoring only when that capability is ready, with the
  owner's consent and an idempotency key

Reading a result:
- basis=vin_list means the regulator named this VIN in a published list
- basis=vin_range_exact means the VIN is inside bounds printed in full
- basis=vin_range_envelope means the VIN is inside a production range whose
  check digit (and sometimes model year) is not published: in scope, not confirmed
- no_record means this corpus could not find the VIN. Some campaigns publish no
  VIN list at all, so never tell a person their car has no recalls.

Do not:
- crawl or submit to /v1/admin/*, /v1/probe/url, /w/<token>, /v1/watchlists
- take payment through this API; there is none
- book or promise a repair; only the supplier's authorised repairer does that
