What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Plain-English summary

Lakota Corporation is recalling certain model year 2016 Lakota Bighorn, Charger, and Livestock Edition trailers manufactured between October 8, 2015, and November 10, 2015. These vehicles are equipped with 17.5-inch aluminum rims that may contain pin holes.

The pin holes in the aluminum rims can result in a loss of tire pressure. A loss of tire air pressure may lead to tire failure, which increases the risk of a crash.

Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any defective wheels free of charge. The recall began on August 24, 2016. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574-848-1636 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
