The problem
Lakota Corporation (Lakota) is recalling certain 2018 Colt trailers. The furnace flue may not have been installed properly and, as a result, the furnace combustion system may not vent to the outside of the trailer living quarters.
The risk
If the furnace does not vent properly, a build up of carbon monoxide may occur within the trailer, increasing the risk of injury or death.
The fix
Lakota will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the trailers and confirm that the furnace flue is installed properly, free of charge. The recall began on July 27, 2017. Owners may contact Lakota customer service at 1-574- 848-1636 or [email protected].
Contacts
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.safercar.gov.
