Damn, I just bought one of those a few months ago. It looks like all they did for the fix is add a sticker saying don't put your finger in between these two pieces of metal and added a rubber bumper.
I think I'll take my chances.

I "fixed" my rack with that new bumper recently, and now the thing is very difficult to fold all the way down. The bumper takes up too much of the space.
I may just pull it off and only put it back on if I ever try to sell the thing. Just watch yer fingers and it won't be a problem...
