setObject / getSpecificObject - when to type check?

[VisionSet]

In an inheritence structure of classes the superclass has:

Object record

public void setRecord(int i) {
record = model.getRecord(i)
}

this method is not overridden.

The subclasses have a package private getFlavouredRecord() method that
returns 'record' cast to its 'flavoured' type.

Should I override setRecord to ensure type is correct:

public void setRecord(int i) {
super.setRecord(i);

if(record != null && ! record instanceof Raspberry) {
throw new ClassCastException();
}
}

A bit bloaty for every subclass, but sensible?
Since setRecord() is public then perhaps I should, otherwise a bit OTT?
