What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Uniflite Incorporated
- Obtain the HIN and verify the build year to determine if the boat could have been equipped with an ONAN MCCK generator during the 1982 period.
- If an ONAN generator is present or was present, confirm through documentation or inspection that the starter motor was replaced or explosion proofed per the remedy.
- Commission a full marine survey that includes inspection of all electrical and fuel systems regardless of recall status.
- Request maintenance records showing generator service history, as proper explosion proofing would have been documented during professional service.
Frequently asked questions
How many recalls has Uniflite Incorporated had
Uniflite has one USCG recall on record from 1982 involving a generator starter motor on a single unit. This is an exceptionally limited recall history for a builder that operated for decades.
What was the Uniflite boat recall for
The recall addressed a starter motor on an ONAN MCCK generator that was not explosion proofed, creating a potential ignition hazard in the engine compartment. The remedy was to replace or modify the starter motor to meet explosion proofing standards.
Should I worry about buying a used Uniflite because of recalls
No. A single recall affecting one unit over 44 years ago is statistically insignificant and reflects a strong safety record. Focus your inspection on the boat's current condition, not this historical recall.
How do I check if my Uniflite was part of the 1982 generator recall
Check if your boat has or had an ONAN MCCK generator installed during the early 1980s. Given that only one unit was affected, the odds are extremely low, but any ONAN generator from that period should be inspected by a qualified marine electrician.
