Steps
Call GET https://api.nhtsa.gov/recalls/campaignNumber?campaignNumber={NHTSA campaign number} — no auth required — once a specific campaign ID is in hand (e.g., surfaced from a recallsByVehicle search or a service bulletin).
Read the Component, Summary, Consequence, Remedy, and Notes fields to confirm scope before scheduling a recall-related glass/camera repair.
Note that campaign numbers are case-sensitive per NHTSA's documentation.
If the campaign number is not yet known, first find it via recallsByVehicle (make/model/modelYear) or the manufacturer's own recall notice.
Known gotchas
No VIN-level applicability check is returned — you must still confirm with the manufacturer/dealer whether a specific VIN is in the affected population.
The response is a flat list of recall records, not a structured affected-VIN range.
