Its says it may be "possible issue with fasteners".
I haven't used it yet so no idea what's it's about and too far to go to garage until May's first service.

If anybody else knows anything, shout. Will save me pissing about with garage people.

There's some other threads on it, but the summary is that they didn't bolt the towbar fully into the frame on some models. If trying to tow to capacity, you could have some serious issues if that's the case for you.

Hi Gaelmart,

I believe the recall you are referring to is S62. The information below is from the Owner’s Letter that was sent out in the United States:

“The factory installed trailer hitch on your vehicle may have missing fasteners. Missing fasteners may result in a loose trailer hitch-to-body attachment and could result in a rattle at the rear of the vehicle. If the rattling condition is ignored, this could lead to a partial or complete separation of the trailer hitch from the vehicle. Loss of the trailer hitch while driving could result in the trailer hitch and/or the trailer being towed to become a projectile, injuring pedestrians, damaging property and/or causing a crash with another vehicle(s).”

Your profile says you are in Ireland so there may be some differences in the recall information because of your location. I would recommend reaching out to our International Customer Care Team either by phone at 00800-36343-000 or email at [email protected] with any additional questions!

I read about this. It said they used one bolt on either side to attach the tiring when it calls for three on either side.

Hi ya

take a look here. I took some pictures of mine so you can take a look and see if yours looks the same.

Mine seemed to have ALL the nuts fitted by the factory, unlike some.

Cheers
