ISSUE:
Alltrade is recalling these E-Bike Racks as they may fail at the Hitch Post, Vertical Support, or Carrying Platforms, presenting risk of injury. Additionally, the E-Bike Rack failure can allow a bicycle to detach and become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Stress at critical connection points within the E-Bike Rack may cause cracks to form. These cracks may worsen due to cyclic fatigue, where repeated loading and unloading progressively weaken the material. Over time, this weakening may lead to structural failures, compromising the integrity of the rack and increasing the risk of detachment during transport.
ACTION:
Consumers should stop using the E-Bike Rack immediately and return it to Costco for a full refund. Kilimanjaro support can be contacted for more information.
