Lakota recall: Suspension
Do not drive. NHTSA and the maker advise owners not to drive these vehicles until they are repaired.
What is wrong
Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain 2020-2024 Bighorn and Charger Triple Axle 5&6 horse trailers. The main rails of the axle carrier may have been manufactured with an insufficient gauge steel, which can cause the carrier to break.
What could happen
A broken axle carrier can cause the axles and tires to fail, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Owners are advised not to use their trailer until the remedy has been completed. Dealers will install gussets and additional tubes, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed September 1, 2023. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574-848-1636.
