Sorry if done to death already - my detachable tow bar detached itself, luckily not when towing, last summer. LR said there has been a recall but I never received the letter. LR then replaced the tow bar foc. That worked until a week ago when it too fell out, fortunately not when I was towing.

I have asked LR to pay for a permanent tow bar but still await response.

Anyone else had this issue? Does anyone know if LR have been sued over this and what the name of the case(s) is/are?

thanks

I had a recall letter a year or so after most but well over 2y before your post on here

Mine passed the test - a big relief - because I used it for a bike carrier not for towing and actually used the car off road so the permanent tow bar array fitted free of charge would have been a PITA

I think there had been a large series of fails involving caravans and horse boxes - Google is your friend

Cheers

Thanks, yes mine passed too then the second tow bar fell off!

Have found examples online but haven't found any litigation yet!
