What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Lakota Charger C8X9 and CX9 and model year 2014 Lakota HUT H839 and Lakota Charger C27 trailers manufactured January 2013 through August 2013 and equipped with a three cubic foot refrigerator and optional recessed cook top. The cook top installation allows the refrigerator combustion system to vent into the trailer interior.

The risk

Fumes and/or gases from the refrigeration system may enter the vehicles interior, increasing the risk of asphyxiation.

The remedy

Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will seal the refrigerator combustion system from the trailer interior, free of charge. The recall began on October 25, 2013. Owners may contact Lakota at 1-574-848-1636.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
