One of the affected BFA Marine life rafts
Problems with overpressure valves can render liferafts inoperable
Incorrectly fitted pressure relief valves can lead to the failure of various liferaft models, including the Atlantic, Pacific, Baltic and XM/BFA Offshore types. BFA Marine asks all owners of life rafts purchased between 1997 and 2007 to contact an authorised inspection workshop. The affected rafts have the serial numbers 100001 to 50180, from 2002 all models whose serial number begins with XDC.
