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 the engine-cover and transmission recalls by VIN.
- Request documentation of the loose-bolt recall repair.
- Test camera image clarity and ask about electrical faults or power loss.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Volkswagen dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
