Retrieve manufacturer technical service bulletin (TSB) and safety recall campaign data by VIN using the NHTSA API and supplementary OEM channels

Verified steps

1. Query the NHTSA Recalls API with the vehicle's make, model, and year to retrieve a list of federal safety recall campaigns and their associated component categories and remedy descriptions
2. Use the NHTSA vPIC VIN decode API (vpic.nhtsa.dot.gov) to confirm the vehicle's exact trim and plant information, which is necessary to determine whether a specific recall applies to a VIN
3. Cross-reference the decoded VIN against the NHTSA recall lookup endpoint that accepts a full 17-character VIN to return only the campaigns applicable to that specific vehicle
4. For TSBs (which are not federal safety mandates and are not in the NHTSA recalls dataset), query a licensed TSB data provider such as ALLDATA, Mitchell1, or an equivalent commercial source, as TSBs are not available through NHTSA's public API
5. Display the recall status with a clear distinction between open (remedy not yet performed), closed (remedy completed), and not applicable (VIN not within the affected population), sourcing this information from the NHTSA VIN-level lookup
6. Implement a periodic re-check schedule (for example, weekly) since new recalls are issued continuously and a vehicle that was clear yesterday may have an open recall today
