Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify completion of both passenger airbag recall campaigns.
- Request rear axle lock nut and alignment repair documentation.
- Test rearview camera operation and ask about electrical faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
