--- name: australian-vehicle-recalls description: Check an Australian vehicle against published safety recalls by VIN, or search recalls by make, model and year. Use when someone asks whether a car is recalled, what a recall is about, or which campaigns affect a vehicle in Australia. --- # Australian vehicle recalls An MCP server and REST API over the Australian Government's published vehicle recall data. Read-only except for an opt-in watch, which is not yet available. Endpoint: https://autozoo.com.au/mcp ## Use it when - someone asks whether their car is recalled, or whether a car they are buying is - someone asks what campaigns affect a make, model or year - someone asks what a specific recall number means ## Tools - lookup_vin — one VIN, returns matches with a basis - lookup_vins — up to 50 VINs in one call - search_recalls — make, model, year, since; 100 rows per page - get_recall — one recall number, full detail ## How to read a result Every match carries a basis: - vin_list — the regulator named this VIN in a published list. Strongest. - vin_range_exact — the VIN is inside bounds the notice prints in full. - vin_range_envelope — the VIN is inside a production range whose check digit, and sometimes model year, is not published. In scope, not confirmed affected. ## Rules 1. A no_record answer is NOT a clearance. Some campaigns publish no VIN list. Say the vehicle was not found in the published data, and that it does not rule out a recall. 2. Quote the basis when you report a match, and explain an envelope is not a confirmation. 3. Link the official notice (source_url) for anything you report. 4. A recall repair is free to the owner; the supplier conducting the recall pays. Never suggest paying for one. 5. Do not crawl or automate /v1/admin/*, /v1/probe/url, /w/ or /v1/watchlists. ## Example > Is my 2017 Mitsubishi ASX recalled? Call lookup_vin with the VIN, or search_recalls with make=Mitsubishi, model=ASX, year=2017. Report each campaign with its basis, hazard, published date and the official link.
