Question:
I have a 2016 Infiniti QX50. There is only one hitch made for my vehicle made by Curt. I want to use it for a Thule Helium Aero bike rack. There is literally no where on my vehicle to hook a stabilization strap. The Thule rack also is designed to secure tightly to the hitch. Can I use the rack without a strap with no issues and not void the warranty? Thank you for your time

Expert Reply:
Yes, the Curt # C11510 is the only trailer hitch receiver we carry for the 2016 Infiniti QX50 and Curt does require using a support strap, # 18050, when carrying a bike rack. The strap has a hook that will fit in the seam of your rear hatch.
The Thule Helium Pro # TH9042PRO is a great bike rack and has a hand knob to secure the rack to your Infiniti's hitch but Curt still requires the strap.
