- The defect
- Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain 2019-2023 Bighorn trailers. The trey ceiling above the bed may not have been installed correctly and may detach.
- What it can cause
- A detached trey ceiling may fall on top of trailer occupants, increasing the risk of injury.
- What the dealer does
- Lakota will provide repair instructions and have screws installed in the trey ceiling, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed February 27, 2023. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574-848-1636. Lakota's number for this recall is Trey Ceiling.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 445 vehicles this is a small campaign: 50% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published are as large or larger. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2019 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Lakota vehicles have been recalled over the structure 3 times before this, most recently in April 2018 as 18V265000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 2 other recalls published here: 23V550000 (suspension), 22V005000 (tires).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Lakota Corporation with NHTSA on February 13, 2023 as campaign 23V077000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
