The defect
Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Bighorn, Charger and Colt horse and livestock trailers equipped with a rear ramp option. These trailers may be missing the nuts and bolts through the ramp channel that go into the rear of trailer C channel, allowing the rear ramp to detach while moving.
The risk
If the ramp comes loose while moving, it can increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Lakota has notified owners, and dealers will drill holes, and install the bolts and lock nuts to secure the ramp, free of charge. The recall began on May 9, 2018. Owners may contact Lakota helpdesk at 1-574-848-1636.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 18V265000.
