U.S. Coast Guard data

Recalls and builder codes from the Coast Guard

Boat pages list the recall campaigns the U.S. Coast Guard has on file for the builder, and the API decodes any hull identification number (HIN) with the accidents reported under it. In VehDB today: 1,697 USCG recall campaigns and 16,237 manufacturer identification codes.

Recalls on the boat page

The USCG campaigns filed under the make's manufacturer codes: this model year first, the campaigns that name the model flagged, each with its problem, boats affected and the HINs it covers.

Builder codes

The manufacturer identification codes (MIC) behind each make, the first three characters of every HIN, with the company the Coast Guard registered under each code.

HIN decoding

The free HIN lookup, GET /v1/hin/{hin} and the decode_hin MCP tool read a hull identification number: builder, build month and year, model year, the builder's recalls, the catalogue makes under its code and the hull's reported accident history.

Learn more

A recall is filed by builder and names the models and HIN ranges it covers, so check yours against it. A make whose code we could not confirm links to the Coast Guard's own recall search instead. Source: U.S. Coast Guard, Office of Boating Safety (public domain).

A marine spec workspace, not a brochure

Marine data,
as JSON.

Marinas, brokers, insurers and marine-service tools query the same 84,300 vessel records through the REST API — same records, same UUIDs as the workspace.

  • Filter and paginate power boats by make, year, hull type and fuel type
  • Length and horsepower in every record for sizing and quoting
  • GET /v1/boats/{uuid}/recalls — U.S. Coast Guard recall campaigns under the builder's codes
  • GET /v1/hin/{hin} — builder, build date, model year and recalls from a hull identification number
  • Simple Bearer tokens, plan-based rate limits, free tier included
  • MCP server included — AI agents query boats, recalls and HINs as native tools
