Just got a heads up from another Car Rack Resources user posting by racker that the Yakima FatCat 6 ski rack has been voluntarily suspended from manufacturing due to an issue with the locks not always locking properly if the ski rack is not latched in the correct position. They are doing a slight modification tothe design, it appears, and will continue manufacturing and offering the Fat Cat 6 for the 2007 / 2008 season. Just passing along the info. Please note that this is not a recall notice or anything by Yakima racks on the FatCat 6 ski rack, and there have been no posts from folks having problems with this currently. Cannot verify this one way or another as it doesn't look like there is any public info from Yakima Racks on the internet about this. Has anyone else had an issue with the locks on the Yakima Fatcat 6 and also is this a possible issue on the Yakima FatCat 4 ski carrier also?
