What this recall means for you
Certain 2016 Lakota Bighorn and Livestock Edition trailers, built between October 8 and November 10, 2015, have 17.5-inch aluminum rims that may have pin holes. These holes can cause the tire to lose air pressure.
Losing tire pressure can lead to tire failure while the trailer is being towed, which increases the risk of a crash. Owners should treat any unexplained loss of tire pressure on these trailers as a warning sign.
Lakota will notify affected owners. Authorized dealers will inspect the rims and replace any defective wheels at no cost. You can contact Lakota customer service at 1-574-848-1636, and you can check your VIN for open recalls.
