Date Records

18V427000
AIR BAGS: FRONTAL: PASSENGER SIDE: INFLATOR MODULE
Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. (Volkswagen) is recalling certain 2005-2008 Audi A4 Sedan, A4 Avant, S4 Avant and S4 Sedan, 2007-2008 RS4 Sedan, 2004 RS4 Cabriolet, 2007-2009 A4 Cabriolet and S4 Cabriolet, 2005-2011 A6 Sedan, 2006-2011 A6 Avant, and 2007-2011 S6 Sedan vehicles. These vehicles are equipped with certain air bag inflators assembled as part of the passenger frontal air bag modules used as original equipment or replacement equipment. In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the passenger frontal air bag, these inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to absolute humidity and temperature cycling.
  • DRC suspension
    Bounce each corner and check for fluid leaks on DRC lines. Replacing the entire system runs $3,000-$5,000; many owners swap to coilovers.
  • Import verification
    Most RS4s in the US are imported B5, B8, or B9 models. Decode the VIN to verify legal import status and emissions compliance.
  • Engine oil consumption (V8)
    B7 and B8 4.2L V8s may consume 1 qt every 1,000 miles. Check oil level at test drive and ask for consumption records.
  • Service history
    RS4s need specialist care. Look for documented dealer or Audi-certified independent service records with every visit logged.
  • Timing chain (B9)
    The B9 2.9L V6 has a rear-mounted timing chain. Listen for rattle at cold start - replacement is $4,000+ at a dealer.
Annual Maintenance Repair Range Insurance Depreciation
$1,200-$2,000 (V8 models need costly oil services; B9 V6 is slightly cheaper but still premium) $1,500-$5,000 per year (DRC repair, carbon cleaning, transmission service are the big-ticket items) $2,500-$3,800 per year (B7 models are cheaper to insure due to age; B9 Avants carry import premiums) ~35-45% (B5 and B7 are appreciating as collectibles; B9 Avant holds value well due to US scarcity)

  • Salvage/Flood/Rebuilt: NMVTIS title brand status indicating severe damage, flood exposure, or rebuilt after total loss.
  • Theft: Reliable analysis of theft records and total-loss events.
  • Odometer: Suspicious mileage “jumps” or inconsistencies across service, auction, and DMV records, which inform buyers of potential issues.
  • Owners/Use: Ownership review, taxi/ride-share/commercial use, liens/leases, and possible usage restrictions.

These items appear in a full VIN report the decoder itself shows factory specifications.
