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.
- Obtain VIN-specific brake pedal recall completion records.
- Verify camera recall completion and a consistent reverse image.
- Ask about electrical warnings, power loss and related repairs.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
