salvage car covered under recalls?

[kindacool03a4]

im wondering if the salvage title means audi wants no part of the car, or will they offer recalls, i.e. 03 oil pump recalls.

My guess is that they would still cover things under recalls since it's still on the road.

What oil pump recall are you referring to?

i don't think your dealership is looking at the title. i would call it a "if they don't ask, don't tell" type of thing.

Oil pump recall? If you are meaning oil sludge I would venture to guess that Audi will not cover it on a salvaged car.

If you have salvage and the recall comes in the mail kinda deal from Audi they will cover it. but again if they dont ask dont mention. good luck i have a salvage as well.

pretty much my 03 a4's FUEL PUMP, SORRY MY TYPO, is on its last, last leg. my car is a salvage, but im hoping that since it is a safety issue, possibly it would still be covered under the fuel pump recall on 03 models. thanks for your input.

I cannot think of any reason they would not cover the fuel pump as it is a NHTSA recall. Call up your local dealer and talk to a service advisor, he will ask for you VIN number and see if the campaign is related to your car.
