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 passenger airbag shutoff recall completion.
- Confirm camera recall completion and consistent image display.
- Ask about brake complaints, steering faults and electrical 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.
