Why GearVerify
GearVerify exists to give people free, transparent access to public safety data before they spend money or take a risk.
Public data, not paywalls
We use NHTSA, CPSC, FDA, and other public agency databases. You should not have to pay to check if a product is recalled.
Printable records
Most tools include a print or save option so you have a dated record of what you checked and when.
Privacy-first
No account required. We don't store full VINs, personal info, or search history by default.
Transparent methodology
Every tool has a clear explanation of what it checks, what it does not check, and what to do next.
Official source links
Every result links directly to NHTSA, CPSC, FDA, or the relevant agency. No middlemen, no redirects.
Honest about limitations
We don't claim to be a complete database, a vehicle history report, or an official agency. A no-match result is not a safety guarantee.
