Lakota recall: Equipment
What is wrong
Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Lakota Bighorn, Charger, Colt and Livestock Edition trailers. The affected vehicles have incorrect tire data listed on the Federal Placard, possibly resulting in the tires being overloaded. As such, these vehicles fail to comply to with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110 "Tire Selection and Rims," as well as 49 CFR Part 567, "Certification."
What could happen
If the vehicle is loaded to the limit provided on the label, the tires could fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will provide new placards with the correct weight capacity data listed, free of charge. The recall began March 18, 2019. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574-848-1636.
