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 VIN applicability for the S8-titled moisture recall.
- Request the passenger seat track recall repair record.
- Check rearview camera operation and electrical repair history.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
