Per Curt warranty requirements, you must use stabilization straps with any non-trailer load, such as a bike rack or cargo carrier, on a Class I or II Curt trailer hitch. The strap in question is Curt Bike Rack Strap with Cambuckle, # 18050.

One end attaches to the upright bar of a bike rack or attachment point on a cargo carrier, the other end attaches to the space between the trunk lid and body of the vehicle or another high point on the vehicle. Tighten the strap and it helps support the accessory installed in the trailer hitch. For a cargo carrier, I would recommend 2 straps and use one on each side of the carrier.
