NHTSA recall campaign
13E021000
What was wrong
Defect
Cequent Performance Products, Inc. (Cequent) is recalling certain Pro Series Translite Bike Racks, Part No. 63144, manufactured from October 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012. The bike rack cradles may tear if excessive force is applied to the cradle straps.
Risk
Torn cradles could allow a bike to disengage from the carrier. If a bike disengages from the carrier it may fall onto the roadway, creating a hazard for other vehicles and increasing the risk of a crash.
Manufacturer remedy
Cequent will replace the dealer inventory and customers will receive a repair kit free of charge. The recall began on May 9, 2013. Customers may contact Cequent at 1-800-931-6689.
