A claim lands with a vehicle and a trouble code. Triage it in seconds, not days.
Before anyone touches the car, CarVector gives you the vehicle specs, open recall history, and the code’s severity and safety classification — structured and ready for your estimating workflow. The preliminary triage that took a phone call now takes an API call.
Severity at intake, not after a diagnostic appointment.
When a claim includes a reported code, the first question is severity: safety-critical, or a routine emissions code that can wait? CarVector’s DTC reference returns severity ratings and safety flags by code, so your platform routes safety-critical claims for immediate handling and flags the rest for standard processing — before a diagnostic confirms it.
A code your platform can route on.
Structured fields — severity, safety risk, category — instead of a description to string-match. A P0300 misfire comes back High severity and safety-critical, because that’s what the data says.
{
"code": "P0300",
"title": "Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected",
"category": "Powertrain",
"severity": "High",
"safety_risk": true,
"emissions_related": true
}Map recall exposure across a portfolio.
A recall-affected vehicle in an incident raises liability questions that should have been addressed up front. Query year/make/model and get every federal recall on record — component, summary, and remedy — instead of checking a government site one VIN at a time.
Affected-vehicle counts and bulk portfolio queries are on the roadmap.
{
"vehicle": "2008–2016 Toyota Land Cruiser",
"recalls": [
{
"campaign_id": "17V548000",
"component": "AIR BAGS: FRONTAL: PASSENGER SIDE: INFLATOR MODULE",
"summary": "Toyota is recalling certain Land Cruiser vehicles…",
"consequence": "An incorrect air bag may not deploy as intended in a crash…",
"remedy": "Dealers will replace the affected air bag assemblies, free of charge."
}
