DEFECT #1 - EQUIPMENT:MECHANICAL:CARRIER/RACK
Posted on: 2016-06-08
Description
Thule (thule inc.) is recalling certain sprint bicycle carriers, models 569/569000 and 528, manufactured december 1, 2013 through april 1, 2016. The fork clamping mechanism may not properly secure the bike fork to the carrier, allowing the bike to detach from the vehicle.
Consequence
If the bike detaches from the vehicle while it is being driven, it could become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Corrective Action
Thule has notified the registered owners, and dealers will exchange the affected bicycle carriers for an improved replacement carrier, free of charge. Consumers are advised not to use the existing carriers. The recall began on june 8, 2016. Owners may contact thule's customer service at 1-844-361-8939.
Notes
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.
