What to check before you buy a used Dometic
- Check the hull identification number against USCG records to identify any Dometic equipment installed at build or as factory options.
- If the boat has an OPTIMUS propulsion system (2019), fuel pumps (2021), or fuel system components (2019 to 2020), confirm the remedy was completed and documented.
- Request service records showing recall work or contact Dometic directly with component serial numbers to verify recall status.
- Have a marine surveyor inspect fuel system components and propulsion systems for proper installation and any signs of the defects named in these campaigns.
Frequently asked questions
What Dometic equipment was recalled?
Four campaigns covered fuel pumps (2,526 units in 2021), OPTIMUS propulsion systems (3,015 units in 2019 for dynamic instability), fuel system components (4,558 units in 2019), and QI AUTO equipment (619 units in 2020).
How do I know if my boat has recalled Dometic equipment?
Check your hull identification number with the USCG recall database, inspect installed Dometic component labels for model and serial numbers, and contact Dometic with those numbers to confirm recall status and remedy completion.
Are these recalls serious enough to avoid a boat with Dometic equipment?
Not necessarily. The fuel system and dynamic instability defects are significant safety issues, but if the remedy was completed and documented, the equipment should be safe. Verify completion before purchase.
Can I still buy a boat with Dometic components?
Yes, if recall remedies were completed. Dometic is a major marine equipment supplier, and most boats with their components have no issues. Request proof of remedy completion and have the equipment inspected by a surveyor as part of your prepurchase process.
