What is wrong
RockyMounts, Inc. (RockyMounts) is recalling certain Split Rail 1.25" bicycle racks, part number 11300, MonoRail 2" bicycle racks, part number 10004, SplitRail 2" bicycle racks, part number 11400, and MonoRail 1.25" bicycle racks, part number 10003. The weld that attaches the hitch tube to the pivot bracket may crack and fail allowing the upper portion of the rack with the bicycles attached to separate from the vehicle.
What can happen
If a portion of the rack and the attached bicycles separate from the vehicle, they can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Recall repairs are free of charge.
RockyMounts will notify owners and will provide a new rack base, free of charge. The recall began on March 8, 2018. Owners may contact RockyMounts customer service at 1-303-402-0190.

A recall means the maker found a safety problem and offers a free fix; it does not mean every unit has the problem. Units affected are as reported by the company. Popular models sell more and so have more recalls and complaints. Official public data; texts are shortened. A dealer can tell whether a single vehicle still needs the repair.
