Recall 23V550000

Suspension › Multiple Axle — Lakota · reported 3 Aug 2023 · 65 vehicles potentially affected

⚠️ Do Not Drive advisory. NHTSA and the manufacturer advise owners of affected vehicles not to drive them until this recall is repaired.

What's 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.

The risk

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.

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
