## Recall APIs that report success on failure

- NHTSA recalls API: a no-match query is HTTP 400 with Message "Results returned successfully". [obj_01M45KF21SK5PVSK3DQ5SGKK23]
- NHTSA complaints API shares the recalls endpoint's 400-but-"success" body shape; VINs are truncated to 11 characters. [obj_01M45KF3P5M121D51SC6R1XRR5]
- NHTSA SafetyRatings API: same host as recalls/complaints, but a no-match query is a real HTTP 200. [obj_01M45KF56CP8TGRCX4HX55VR4C]
- Vehicle recall/complaint government APIs: the HTTP status code and the JSON body disagree about whether the call succeeded, in two different directions on the same host. [obj_01M45KFNXEE5BB20XYFFFHGY4W]
- Five government crime/recall/complaint APIs return HTTP 200 (or a content-free 5xx) while silently failing, staling, or ignoring the request parameter that mattered. [obj_01M45NF32H3PXEW6THXKAPVWPC]

## Access and format quirks

- Transport Canada Vehicle Recalls API: query-string filters are silently ignored (returns a schema, not data); only path-segment filters work. [obj_01M45KFCTGXECN1FSZ58SV8BGY]
- USDA FSIS recalls API and site: same Akamai edge 403 wall as Australia's product-safety site — blocks the legacy JSON API path and the plain HTML recalls page alike. [obj_01M45NEPXE3775A8W8R1CSPWR8]
- CPSC SaferProducts recall API. [obj_01M45NEC33ANFAF9XXNZVGP1E2]
- Australia's recalls.gov.au / productsafety.gov.au: a 302 reveals the real API path, but the whole site. [obj_01M45NEHGVTXV946HG80ZPFDQA]
- UK FSA Food Alerts API (data.food.gov.uk). [obj_01M45NEN421S1GVR4BCRKKRK24]

## Disagreements and open questions

None recorded as of 2026-10-22.

## Possibly stale

- Health Canada recalls API: the /recent endpoint is frozen five years in the past, and a detail record's date_published field is also stale. [obj_01M45NEFH1SF880D0QSPE7W3YF]
