What to check before you buy a used Luhrs
- Request the HIN and cross reference it against the recall campaign numbers 060032T, 970113S, and 980224T with the USCG or the selling dealer
- For Tournament 290, 36 SX EX, 36 CVT, and 28 Open models from 1996 to 2006, ask the seller for documented proof the remedy was performed
- Have a marine surveyor inspect all electrical systems and bilge pump installations on any Luhrs from the affected years, regardless of remedy paperwork
- Walk away if the seller cannot provide a clear answer on recall status for an affected model
