What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain 2017-2018 Lakota trailers. The rear external load ramp was not mounted with nuts and bolts in addition to being welded, possibly resulting in the ramp detaching from the trailer.

The risk

If the ramp detaches from the rear of trailer, it may be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will install bolts and nuts on each rear external ramp, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2017. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574-848-1636. Lakota's number for this recall is Non-LQ ext ramp.

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.
