---Thule is recalling several models of hitch-style bicycle racks. Included are the Hitching Post Pro (934, 934XT, 935, 935XT, 936, 936XT, 937, 937XT, 951, 951XT); Expressway (995, 995XT, 996, 996XT); and Trailblazer (998, 998XT). All were sold between January 2003 and June 2007 at bicycle, sporting goods and auto supply stores. The problem? A pinch point exists between the bike arm bracket and the upright assembly. When the arm is moved to its down position, Thule says, the pinch point has the potential to cause severe injury, including lacerations and/or amputations. Thule is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to administer the recall. If you have one of these racks, you are urged to stop using it immediately and contact Thule at 800/848-5391 between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. ET to obtain a free repair kit.
