Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.

What happened

Garmin is recalling certain 2009 versions of BlueChart g2 and BlueChart g2 Vision SD cards purchased between April 8, 2009 and June 3, 2009. These navigation cards contain inaccuracies and omissions in how they display depth contours and depth areas in certain waters. Under certain display conditions, the cards may show water as deeper than it actually is, which could cause boats to run aground and result in accidents.

You can identify an affected card if the exterior packaging is a cardboard envelope, or if it is a BlueChart g2 Vision card with a MAR 09 release date and one of the part numbers on the attached list, or if it is a BlueChart g2 card with a part number from the attached list and a description beginning with the letter H or HX. The source does not specify what remedy is available to affected consumers.
