- Cross reference the boat's HIN against USCG campaign 070031T to confirm whether the unit was included in the 2007 overpressure valve recall
- Request documentation from the seller proving the valve repair or replacement was completed by an authorized service center
- Have a marine surveyor inspect the overpressure valve system during prepurchase survey, particularly on ATLANTIC, BALTIC, PACIFIC, or XM O models manufactured before August 2007

Frequently asked questions
Are Zodiac International boats recalled?
Yes, Zodiac International issued one USCG recall in August 2007 for a dysfunctional overpressure valve affecting 500 ATLANTIC, BALTIC, PACIFIC, and XM O model inflatables.
What was the Zodiac overpressure valve recall for?
The overpressure valve was dysfunctional and could fail to relieve excess air pressure, creating a risk of hull damage or failure. The recall applied to models manufactured before the August 2007 campaign date.
How do I check if my Zodiac boat was recalled?
Cross reference your hull identification number against USCG campaign 070031T, which covered approximately 500 ATLANTIC, BALTIC, PACIFIC, and XM O models. The Coast Guard Recall Hotline can confirm whether your specific HIN was included.
Is a 2007 Zodiac safe to buy if the recall was never fixed?
A dysfunctional overpressure valve is a structural safety issue that could cause catastrophic hull failure. Do not purchase an affected unit without documented proof the remedy was completed or a surveyor confirming the valve operates correctly.
