What this means before you buy →
What to check before you buy a used Viking Yacht
- Request the boat's HIN and cross reference it against the 1981 AIRPAX T 11 recall campaign to confirm whether your specific hull was affected
- If the boat was built in 1981 or earlier, verify with the seller or through service records that the circuit breaker remedy was completed
- Commission a marine surveyor to inspect all electrical systems, panels, and circuit protection regardless of recall status, as electrical failures pose fire and safety risks
- Focus your due diligence on common Viking Yacht maintenance items like engine hours, hull condition, and systems function rather than recall history, given the single aged campaign
