Plain-English summary
Bison Coach, LLC is recalling certain model year 2016-2018 Bison Horse Trailers, including the Laredo, Premiere, Ranger, Silverado, Trail Boss, and Trail Hand models. The recall affects 192 units that contain incorrect Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR) information on the Certification label.
