The problem
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.
The risk
If the ramp detaches from the rear of trailer, it may be a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will install bolts and nuts on each rear external ramp, free of charge. The recall began on August 10, 2017. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574-848-1636. Lakota's number for this recall is Non-LQ ext ramp.
