'2. Although I personally should have known better.....'

Sorry, but I think this is the main truth of this story. Liberated
mountain bikes at highway speeds can do far more damage than a few
dents, especially if there are cars behind you. I don't see where Saab
could be held responsible for this.
Live and learn (and check the bolts before each trip!)

Check the tension every month or so.

The dealer can help here.  I got a replacement for one that broke in transite. 
 You could also try the Thule web site.
