DescriptionPro Series Translite Bike Racks Product description This recall involves Pro Series Translite Bike Racks. The affected product is Model Number 63144. The product is a hitch-mounted bicycle rack with dual arms, each having four rubber cradles with hook and loop straps that hold the bicycle in place. The rack is capable of carrying up to four bicycles.
