Recalls Database
Are you wondering about the safety
record of a
boat you own or plan to
purchase? The U.S. Coast Guard maintains a database on all manufacturer recalls of recreational boats and related
equipment that are due to safety defects and non-compliance. Safety defects are considered to be conditions that can cause failure without warning and that create a substantial risk of personal injury. Use this handy resource to find out whether there have been safety concerns you should know about for a specific recreational boat. [NOT easily searchable]
