Defect Summary:
Thule (Thule Inc.) is recalling certain Sprint bicycle carriers, models 569/569000 and 528, manufactured December 1, 2013 through April 1, 2016. The fork clamping mechanism may not properly secure the bike fork to the carrier, allowing the bike to detach from the vehicle. Consequence Summary:
