Frequently asked questions
How many Legend Boats have been recalled?
Legend Boats Ltd has one documented recall affecting 38 units of the LE 186 model under campaign 06P028S in 2007 for level flotation defects.
What was wrong with the Legend LE 186 flotation?
The 2007 recall addressed level flotation deficiencies, meaning the foam did not meet Coast Guard capacity requirements to keep the swamped boat level and afloat.
How do I know if a used Legend boat was recalled?
Decode the HIN to identify the model and year, then cross reference against campaign 06P028S which affected LE 186 models produced around that timeframe. Request proof of remedy completion from the seller or contact Legend directly.
Should I avoid Legend Boats because of this recall?
No. A single flotation recall affecting 38 boats in 2007 is not a pattern of systemic defects. Focus on verifying that the specific boat you are considering either falls outside the recall or had the remedy properly completed.
