Warranty Problems

The Coast Guard does not deal with defects or conditions that are not considered a "substantial risk" defect. For boat/equipment issues that do not constitute a safety defect, please contact one of the following organizations:

  • Your state consumer protection agency (usually operated in the State Attorney General's Office).
  • The Federal Trade Commission. For information about the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act of 1975, visit www.FTC.gov or call 202-326-3650.
  • The Consumer Protection Bureau (for Members of BOAT/U.S.) at www.BOATUS.com or 703-461-2856.
