Yakima Products began working with its dealers to recall its FrontLoader, a top of car bike rack.


A small number of units shipped to dealers from March 2010 through December 2010 have malfunctioned. There have been no injuries related to this malfunction and the issue has been addressed in the current generation of the FrontLoader that began shipping in February 2011.

 

Yakima is in the process of contacting all affected dealers who will receive replacement product. FrontLoaders subject to the recall can be identified by the front wheel hoops.  Units with four wheel position options are part of the recall, current units with five positions, are not part of the recall.
