  • eu_safety_gate_recallsSTUB — not yet live.No findings

    Why it is in this group

    • Nothing in its name or description says what it does, so it is counted as a write.
    • The server marks it read-only (readOnlyHint: true), but an annotation never lowers a class.
    Description, as the server wrote it
    STUB — not yet live. EU Safety Gate (RAPEX) vehicle alerts are being added; until then this returns covered:false with the official Safety Gate URL and points to fr_recalls_* (RappelConso republishes the Safety Gate automobile alerts that concern France).

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Official French vehicle recall notices (RappelConso, DGCCRF open data; 1663 automobile fiches 2018-01-19 → 2026-08-07) for a brand and model: fiche number, date, risks, defect description (motif, in French), commercialisation periods and the official fiche link. Omit model to list a brand. Matches by a reviewed alias table plus whole-word text match; each fiche says which.

    Owner defect reports filed with MLIT's 不具合情報ホットライン (19659 across 75 models): total reports for a model and the breakdown by defective device (brakes, lights, engine, body…) from the newest sample.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Real UK MOT failure data for a used car: per-category failure rates (overall and interpolated at a given mileage) and the riskiest components with typical failure mileages, for one model generation. Live proxy to whatbreaks.uk (same operator; aggregated from DfT anonymised MOT results). Use when a user is buying, comparing or maintaining a car sold in the UK. If several generations match, the result lists candidates — retry with year or the exact model name.

    Description, as the server wrote it
    Official UK vehicle safety recalls (DVSA, Open Government Licence; 4876 recalls launched 2016-01-01 → 2027-02-03, 272 makes) for a make and model: recall number, launch date, concern, defect and remedy text (DVSA's English originals), build-date range, vehicles affected and a GOV.UK recall-checker link. Omitting model lists the make's recalls and model names. "Vauxhall Corsa", "vauxhall corsa" and "VAUXHALL CORSA" resolve identically; "Mercedes-Benz", "VW" and "Land Rover" are understood. Covers cars, vans, HGVs, buses, motorcycles, trailers and components, not individual VINs.

This is not a safety rating, and no finding is not a safety guarantee. The groups and findings come from fixed checks of the tool definitions the server returned on the date shown, not from its code or what it does when called. How the checks work.
