Will Draw Tite Hitch for 2021 Mazda CX-5 with Bike Rack Installed Interfere with Collision Sensor

Question:

I have a 2021 Mazda CX 5 signature edition. I just ordered the Draw Tite 76138 hitch for my vehicle. Im wondering if the parking sensors or the rear collision braking system are going to prevent me from using a bike rack on the hitch?

You'll be able to install a bike rack in the Draw Tite Hitch part # 76138 you bought for your 2021 Mazda CX-5 like the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider part # HR200Z but the rear collision sensors may act up when the rack is installed. That said, we haven't had any customers come back and report any issues though so it's not super prevalent if an issue at all. There should be a button that says disable safety features that you can press which will turn off the sensors.
