Recently it has been brought to our attention that BFA marine has identified some overpressure valve failures on BFA Marine liferafts in use.

This could result in a major air leak or even a failure of a compartment of the life raft to inflate.

ACTION - As a preventive measure, it is advised by BFA Marine to take your liferaft to the nearest BFA marine approved service station, in order to check and potentially replace these overpressure valves.
