Plain-English summary

Lakota Corporation has issued a recall for certain 2018 Colt trailers. The issue involves the furnace flue, which may not have been installed correctly. As a result, the furnace combustion system might fail to vent exhaust gases to the outside of the trailer's living quarters.

If the furnace does not vent properly, carbon monoxide can accumulate within the trailer. This buildup increases the risk of injury or death to occupants.
