The Problem
Millions of re-registered vehicles still have open recalls
Every year, hundreds of thousands of vehicles with open safety recalls are renewed through state DMV offices, with owners none the wiser. Manufacturer outreach reaches fewer than half of affected owners. Mailed recall notices go unread. But registration renewals? Those get attention.
States already hold every piece of information needed to run a recall check: the VIN is on file, the owner is engaged, and the moment is right. The only missing piece is the connection to live recall data.
- Renewal is a verified, active touchpoint with the vehicle owner
- The VIN is already on file, no new data collection required
- Open recalls are a direct public safety issue on state roads
- Manufacturer notices alone reach fewer than half of affected owners
Three ways to add recall checks to your workflow
Choose the approach that fits your existing systems and technical capacity. Our team will work with you to scope the right integration for your agency.
Real-Time API
Look up any VIN the moment a registration is submitted. Our REST API returns recall status in under 200ms. Ideal for web-based portals with developer resources.
Nightly Batch Lookup
Upload a CSV of VINs before renewal notices go out. We return recall status for each vehicle. No real-time integration or developer resources required.
Notice Template Insert
Add a recall status block to your existing renewal mailers or emails. We provide the copy and logic block; your team drops it into existing templates.
From registration to recall awareness in three steps
Whichever integration path you choose, the experience for your constituents is the same.
VIN Is Collected
A vehicle’s VIN is submitted as part of the standard registration or renewal process. No new forms or additional fields needed from the registrant.
Recall Status Is Checked
We look up the VIN against our daily-updated database of open recalls from NHTSA, vehicle manufacturers, and Technical Service Bulletins. Results are instant.
Owner Is Notified
Recall status surfaces inline in your portal, is included in a renewal notice, or is sent separately, however your workflow is configured.
Purpose-built for government integration
Every feature reflects the realities of state agency procurement, privacy requirements, and technical environments.
Improve Public Safety
Reducing unrepaired recalls on state roads is a direct public safety win. Every owner notified is a potential accident prevented, and potential liability reduced.
Procurement Ready
Pricing is structured for government procurement cycles. Annual contracts with standard government terms, SLA guarantees, and RFP support are all available on request.
Live Recall Data
Our database is updated daily from NHTSA, vehicle manufacturers, and Technical Service Bulletins: the most comprehensive recall data available anywhere.
Privacy by Design
VIN lookups return recall information only. No personally identifiable information is retained or shared. Data handling aligned with NIST 800-53 controls.
Simple Integration
REST API, SFTP batch, or notice template inserts. Designed to work with legacy DMV systems and modern portals alike. Full documentation and sandbox included.
White-Glove Onboarding
A dedicated integration engineer supports your team through setup, testing, and go-live. No ticketing queues, just direct support from first call to launch.
