Recalls

Recalls that may apply to the year, make and model a VIN decodes to.

This decodes the VIN and lists the recalls of its model year. It does not look the VIN itself up, which no public data allows: may_apply is always true. A VIN that decodes to no vehicle in the catalog gets an empty list and the warning no_catalog_vehicle, not an error.
