Car Check

ChatGPT plugin

Recalls, ratings and mpg

View in ChatGPT directory

Check a US car's public record before you buy or while you own it: decode a VIN, see its recalls, crash test ratings and owner complaints, and compare fuel economy.

Ask "what car is VIN 1HGCM82633A004353?", "any recalls on a 2018 Toyota Camry?", "give me a report on a 2016 Honda Civic" or "what mpg does a 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid get?".

Car Check reads two free official sources: the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) for VIN decoding, recalls, 5-star crash test ratings and consumer complaints, and the US Environmental Protection Agency's fueleconomy.gov for mpg, mpge, electric range, tailpipe CO2 and estimated annual fuel cost.

The report answers in one call: the vehicle, its crash ratings, how many recalls NHTSA lists and the newest ones, how many complaints were filed and which components they name most often, and its fuel economy.

Complaints are shown only as a count and the components named. Individual complaint texts and VIN fragments are never returned, and a complaint is a report from an owner, not a confirmed defect.

It covers vehicles sold in the US. Recalls and complaints are listed by year, make and model, not by VIN, so for one specific car confirm at nhtsa.gov/recalls. A VIN you enter is sent to NHTSA to decode it and is never stored.

Car Check is a data lookup. It is not a valuation, a vehicle history or accident report, an inspection, or safety, mechanical or buying advice.

Data from NHTSA (nhtsa.gov) and the US EPA (fueleconomy.gov), which are public US government sources. It stores nothing about you: answers are cached for a day, and the only lasting record is a daily count of calls per tool.
