Blazer Boat recalls
Blazer Boat boats have 2 recall campaigns on record across 248 reported units. Below is every campaign, what it covers, and how to confirm a specific hull was fixed before you buy.
Blazer Boat Manufacturing has 2 USCG recall campaigns on record, issued between 2016 and 2021, affecting 248 total units. Both campaigns involved flotation capacity labeling issues on jon boat models, a defect category that typically requires capacity plate replacement or verification rather than structural repair. For used buyers, this is a narrow recall profile focused on regulatory compliance items that are straightforward to inspect and remedy.

What to check before you buy a used Blazer Boat
- Decode the HIN and cross reference the model year against the two affected campaigns: 2021 for the 1752 SC JON and 2016 for the 1656 Custom Jon Sport.
- Inspect the capacity plate for legibility and confirm the maximum person count and weight limit match USCG standards for the hull length and design category.
- Contact Blazer Boat Manufacturing or the selling dealer to verify whether any open recall remedy applies to your specific HIN and whether the work was completed.
- Request documentation of the remedy if the boat was subject to either campaign, as proof of compliance adds resale value and eliminates a future disclosure obligation.
Frequently asked questions
How many Blazer boats have been recalled?
248 Blazer boats across 2 campaigns: 247 units of the 1752 SC JON in 2021 and 1 unit of the 1656 Custom Jon Sport in 2016. Both recalls involved flotation capacity labeling defects rather than structural or mechanical failures.
What models are affected by Blazer Boat Manufacturing recalls?
The 1752 SC JON and the 1656 Custom Jon Sport without remote are the only models on record. Both are jon boat configurations and both campaigns addressed capacity plate or flotation test compliance issues.
Are Blazer boat recalls serious?
The two Blazer recalls involve regulatory labeling and flotation capacity certification, not hull integrity or propulsion hazards. Remedies typically involve verifying or replacing the capacity plate, which is a low cost, low complexity fix.
How do I check if a used Blazer boat has an open recall?
Decode the HIN to identify the model year, then compare against the 2016 and 2021 campaign dates and affected models. Contact Blazer directly with the HIN to confirm remedy status, or inspect the capacity plate for any USCG noncompliance indicators.
