Question:
I have a 1-1/4 inch bike rack, and I need a hitch for my new Hyundai Genesis Coupe. My old hitch had a hole for the mounting screw. Does the hitch you are selling have the same hole with the same alignment?

Yes, the Curt trailer hitch # 11086 for the 2012 Hyundai Genesis does have a hitch pin hole for the mounting pin on your bike rack. If you are talking about a smaller hole in front of the hitch pin hole for a j-pin, # 63201, this hitch does not have that hole.
As long as the shank on the bike rack that fits into the trailer hitch is 1-1/4 inches square, it will fit. The hitch accepts a 1/2 inch hitch pin.
On this Curt Class I trailer hitch, 1-1/4 inch receiver, Curt requires the use of a stabilization strap # 18050 on any non-trailer load like a bike rack. The strap is designed to relieve some of the stress on the hitch.
On a Class I trailer hitch, you can only carry a maximum of 2 bikes. The reason is the hitch cannot handle the stress of having a third or more bikes that far from the receiver.
I have included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch for you.
