Sounds like logic that can break, yes. I'd try to repair the rack and then save and reload the game, in the hope that maybe loading restores some of the missing data. It's a low probability, but still worth a try.

I tried it in different ways, including reinstalling, repairing & reloading, but unfortunately, it didn't help :( Can we fix it through the debug menu?

[PatrikLundell]

I don't think this can be fixed via the debug menu. In theory it should be possible to hack the save files, but that would require finding the correct file, finding the vehicle in it, and figuring out how the data should be changed, and then change the file without making any mistakes.

It should be possible to debug create a new vehicle like the racked one if it is a standard type and then manually smash the racked parts of the current racked vehicle, but that still wouldn't guarantee the rack won't be bugged and still think something is attached, although removing the racks and reinstalling them might work. I don't know if the debug menu can be used to destroy vehicle parts (so smashing wouldn't be needed). Anyway, I'd perform any such experiments on a copy of the save so failed attempts aren't accidentally overwriting it (in particular if automatic saves are enabled).
