# More Vehicles Return Recall Data, and Lookups Are Faster
URL: /docs/changelogs/2026-08-13
LLM index: /llms.txt
Description: A second data source backs Vehicle Recalls, so more VINs return records — and recall and plate lookups return faster.

## Added

- A second data source now backs [Vehicle Recalls](/docs/products/recalls), so more VINs return recall records, and coverage holds up even when one source goes down.

## Improved

- Faster responses on [Vehicle Recalls](/docs/products/recalls) and [License Plate Decoder](/docs/products/plate-decoder).
- More consistent recall lookups, call to call.

## Notes

- Backward compatible: the response shape is unchanged, so no code changes are needed.
- A VIN that came back empty before may return recalls now. If you cache results, refresh any VINs that previously returned an empty list.
