  1. No one hurt

    Made Sep 13, 2016, sent to the company Sep 21, 2016, published by CPSC Sep 19, 2018

    The product, in the report: Saris Bones 3 trunk bike rack, designed to carry 3 bikes on vehicles listed in online vehicle fit guide at saris.com.

    Using a Saris Bones 3 trunk bike rack on my 2009 [REDACTED] 4dr sedan carrying 2 bikes, each weighting about 30-32 pounds, 1 bike next to car, 1 bike (girls’ model) in straps farthest from car, the rack broke at the girls’ bike connection & this bike fall off the rack. This occurred as I was entering 1-205 in Clackamas County, OR, a busy freeway. Luckily, I could pull off the freeway quickly, and the bike was still attached to the car by a bungi cord I used to tie the 2 bikes together so they wouldn’t sway. The bike has about $200 in damages, Saris has agreed to send replacement parts for the rack, and no one was injured. However, this could have resulted in serious injury and/or property damage if the bike had not been attached by bungi cord. I read the installation instructions carefully and fitted it to my car. I was not told of any weight or number of bike limitations when I bought the rack. When I called Saris yesterday, I was told that on my car, there is a 70-pound, 2 bike limit, and the bikes must be mounted in the two connections closest to the car. When I looked Saris’ online “vehicle fit guide” yesterday, I did not see this limitation for Bones 3, only for Superbones 3-bike rack. I called Saris again today and was given the same information. However, today the online guide shows the limitation for the Bones 3 model. At best, even for the unusual consumer such as me who actually reads and attempts to follow instructions, this situation is unclear, hence unsafe for those carrying bikes and others on the highways. I called Saris’s exclusive dealer here (River City Bikes) yesterday and asked if there were any weight/bike limits for [REDACTED], was told there are none.
