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 and rear axle hardware and alignment recall repairs.
- Confirm fuel sensor and liquid-spill power-loss recall completion.
- Test the rearview camera and ask about steering or speed-control 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.
