Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I received a safety recall notice from thule regarding a safety defect in thule hitch rack units, including the trailbalzer 998xt that i own. thule's instructions were to contact them at a toll-free phone number for instructions on obtaining a repair kit to eliminate the hazard. thule also provided a web site for obtaining information. i phoned the toll-free number, listened to a lengthy recorded massage, then pressed "1" as instructed. my phone connect then went into limbo with no response from thule. i have tried the call several times with the same result. i also checked the thule web site, but i find the links to information on how to proceed to be inoperative. clearly thule is not properly handling this recall because i am unable to make any meaningful contact to obtain the needed repair kit.*jb
