Defect Summary:
Trimas Corporation (Trimas) is recalling certain model Highland-brand Universal Telescopic Bar Carriers (part numbers 2508500 and 25085), Universal Car Roof Top Basket Carriers (part number 35036) and Multi-Purpose Roof Top Bar Carriers (part numbers 2005200 and 20052), and Reese-brand Carry Power Multi-Purpose Bar Carriers (part numbers 13907 and 1390700) and Carry Power Roof Top Multi-Purpose Steel Basket Carriers (part number 1390900). The affected carriers may have inadvertently been packaged without the proper warning labels advising consumers not use the carriers with cargo bags, cargo baskets, cargo boxes or rooftop accessories.

Consequence Summary:
If the bar carriers are used with the cargo bags, cargo baskets, cargo boxes or rooftop accessories it could increase the risk of separation of the cargo from the vehicle, which would become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.

Corrective Summary:
Trimas will notify owners and will provide revised instructions containing appropriate warnings, free of charge. The recall began on January 20, 2015. Owners may contact Cequent Consumer Products' customer service at 1-800-234-6992.
