What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Bighorn, Charger, and Colt trailers. The bolts that secure the ramps on these trailers may come loose or break during use or while moving.

The risk

If the ramp loosens or detaches during use or while moving, it can increase the risk of injury or a crash.

The remedy

Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will replace the bolts with a different bolt, free of charge. The recall began on May 18, 2018. Owners may contact Lakota Recall Help Desk IPO Lakota Customer Service 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.
