What this means if you're buying one

A recall isn't automatically a dealbreaker — but an unrepaired one is. Recalls are filed because a defect can affect safety, so before you put money down on a PACKARD INC SPORT DINGHY, confirm in writing that this campaign was completed. Ask the seller for the repair documentation, or call a PACKARD INC dealer with the hull identification number (HIN) to verify the fix was performed.

  • Get the HIN and decode it to confirm the exact build year and builder.
  • Ask the seller: “Was recall 981577S completed, and do you have the paperwork?”
  • Have any open safety recall closed out before the sale, not after.
