Description of the problem	Cspc: the weld that connects the main part of the rack to the portion that enters the hitch cracked, resulting in the bikes dragging in the road until we could pull over. The rack then snapped off completely. At the time, we had three bikes worth about $2,500 each on the rack, and more seriously, this could have caused a catastrophic accident had the rack snapped off with another car directly behind us. dt js b f cn *js

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
