Lakota recall: Equipment
What is wrong
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.
What could happen
Fumes and/or gases from the refrigeration system may enter the vehicles interior, increasing the risk of asphyxiation.
The fix
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.
