Towing hook knock sound

Hi,

Last year in June I installed at Tesla the OEM towing package (at a Tesla service) and I used it on average one to two times per month with my bike rack carrying 2 bikes of around 18 kg each. I mention this to make it clear that I am well under the 60kg limit of the Thule Epos 2 bike rack.

Since last 2 or 3 trips, I started to hear a knocking sound coming from the rear end every time I steer left or right and when I move the rack from side to side. I took a video as well showing the sound.

Could this come from the towing system? Is there a chance a bolt was not properly tighten during installation and it is slightly undone?

What do you think?
