• search_recalls_by_identifier read-only

  Search recalls by extracted UPC, lot code, model number, product name, or VIN. Multiple identifiers are AND-matched on the same product. VIN lookup lists NHTSA campaigns for the decoded year and make; confirm your vehicle on nhtsa.gov/recalls. lot_code matches extracted lot codes after normalizing spaces, case, and punctuation; if lots were not extracted, also searches notice title and description — verify against the notice. product_name falls back to the same full-text search as search_product_recalls when no exact extracted name matches, and returns a hint if still empty.

  Parameters:

  • upc — string — product UPC or EAN as stored on the recall
  • vin — string — 17-character VIN. Lookup lists NHTSA campaigns for the decoded year and make; confirm your vehicle on nhtsa.gov/recalls.
  • limit — integer — number of recalls to return
  • offset — integer — number of recalls to skip
  • lot_code — string — lot or batch code. Matches extracted lot codes after normalizing spaces, case, and punctuation; if lots were not extracted, also searches the notice title and description. Verify against the notice.

  • product_name — string — extracted product name (exact match; if none, falls back to the same full-text search as search_product_recalls)
