Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Lakota Corporation is recalling 65 of its 2020-2024 Bighorn and Charger Triple Axle 5 & 6 horse trailers. The axle carrier's main rails were manufactured with steel that is too thin, which can cause the carrier to break during use. Owners are advised to stop using their trailers immediately until a free repair, consisting of the installation of gussets and additional tubes, can be completed by a dealer.

Risk

If the axle carrier breaks, the trailer's axles and tires can fail while in motion. This significantly increases the risk of a crash and potential injury to the driver, passengers, or animals being transported.

What You Should Do

  1. Stop driving this vehicle immediately and park it until the recall repair is completed.
  2. Identify if your trailer is affected by checking if it is a 2020-2024 Lakota Bighorn or Charger Triple Axle 5 & 6 horse trailer.
  3. Contact Lakota Corporation customer service at 1-574-848-1636 to arrange for a free repair at an authorized dealer.
  4. During the repair, dealers will install gussets and additional support tubes to the axle carrier at no cost to you.
  5. For additional questions or information, contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov.
