title-check

Generate a pre-purchase report for a titled asset by VIN (cars, trucks, RVs, trailers, heavy equipment) or HIN (recreational boats). Returns open federal NHTSA recalls (severity-ranked), consumer-complaint crash/fire/injury/death counts, open investigations, VIN check-digit + factory decode, and the exact next-step sources for lien & title-brand. Public NHTSA/USCG data — not an official title record; lien/salvage need a state/NMVTIS check, which the report links.

{'type': 'object', 'properties': {'hin': {'type': 'string', 'description': '12-character Hull Identification Number (recreational boats).'}, 'vin': {'type': 'string', 'description': '17-character VIN (cars/trucks/RVs/trailers/equipment).'}}}
