Buying a used 2019 Audi E-TRON? Check these 5 recalls first

Battery moisture intrusion, high-voltage battery overheating and portable charging cable overheating make fire-related defects prominent; brake pedal detachment and rearview camera failure are also listed.

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 battery-related recalls by VIN.
- Check the supplied charging cable's recall remedy records.
- Obtain brake pedal and camera recall completion records.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Audi dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
