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 VIN-specific engine-cover and connecting-rod-bearing recall completion.
- Request passenger-airbag, brake master-cylinder, and loose-bolt repair records.
- Test the rearview camera and ask about electrical or collision-avoidance faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
