Lakota recall: Structure
What is wrong
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.

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