Server instructions

WhichTrim publishes the U.S. vehicle safety and efficiency record, joined from EPA and NHTSA public files. Start with search_vehicles to turn a name into a vehicle id, then use get_vehicle, check_recalls or compare_vehicles. decode_vin takes a 17-character VIN; lookup_trouble_code takes an OBD-II code. Every response carries the page URL it came from — cite it. One rule matters more than the rest: a recall covers a build range, not a model year, so never tell someone their specific vehicle is clear. Point them at nhtsa.gov/recalls.

Known tools 6

search_vehicles

Find model years in the WhichTrim catalogue by make, model and/or year.

Inferred read-only

get_vehicle

The full published record for one model year: EPA fuel economy, NHTSA recalls, owner-complaint counts and the mileage at which owners reported problems, crash ratings, open investigations, service bulletins and the diagnostic trouble codes its record names.

Inferred read-only

check_recalls

Every NHTSA recall campaign on file for one model year, with severity, park-outside and do-not-drive advisories and the reported completion rate.

Inferred read-only

decode_vin

Decode a 17-character VIN against NHTSA's vPIC database and join it to the WhichTrim record for that model year: year, make, model, engine, plant, plus the grade and recall campaigns on file.

Inferred read-only

lookup_trouble_code

What a diagnostic trouble code (P0420, U0100, …) means where the OBD-II standard defines it, and — the part no other source publishes — which vehicles' federal record actually names it: how many manufacturer service bulletins and owner complaints mention it, and on which model years.

Inferred read-only

compare_vehicles

Two model years side by side on the figures that decide most purchases: fuel economy or EV range, Safety Signal grade, recalls, complaints, crash rating and starting price where a press kit is on file.

Inferred read-only
