Steps

  1. Call GET https://api.nhtsa.gov/complaints/complaintsByVehicle?make={MAKE}&model={MODEL}&modelYear={YEAR} — free, no auth required.
  2. Scan each complaint's Component and description text for glazing/windshield/camera-system keywords — there is no dedicated glass or ADAS component filter.
  3. To retrieve one specific complaint already known by ID, call api.nhtsa.gov/complaints/odinumber?odinumber={ODI number}.
  4. If exact ModelYear/Make/Model values are unknown, enumerate them first via api.nhtsa.gov/products/vehicle/modelYears (then makes, then models) with issueType=c.
