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 side airbag mounting and passenger airbag recall repairs.
- Confirm the rearview camera remedy and demonstrate image operation.
- Ask for brake repair records and details of electrical or collision warning 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.
