The problem

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.

Notes

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.
