Product Recall: Thule Spring Bumper Bar - 11300403

We need to inform you that we have identified a defective batch from our supplier of Thule Spring Bumper Bar - 11300403. 

Thule spring bumper bar 11300403.

At the Thule Group we take product quality very seriously and product safety is our top priority. We conduct extensive testing to ensure that our Thule products meet all global industry and regulatory standards. Unfortunately, we have identified a defective batch from our supplier of Thule Spring Bumper Bar - 11300403, when the production process was not according to our specifications. The possible issue is a round small plastic cover piece not being in place (pictures below shows OK and NOT OK product). Faulty products that are missing the plastic cover can pose a pinching hazard to unattended children, when closing the bumper bar.
