Land Rover in Norway had not heard about this recall when i contacted them. Later i got an an email stating that my 2005 D3 was not one of the cars to be recalled. Strange because my towbar has a lot of play😫De-tangoed, G4 Winch, G4 Raised airintake, G4 Sumpguard, V8 brakes, 3 flash, clock on dash. Done belts, brakes, parkbrake actuator, transfer ecu, wheelbearings, air dampers, suspension arms, alternator, cruisecontrol,steelpan autobox++

Hoping someone can offer some advice please. My 05 has had a removable towbar at some stage in its life and it looks "well used" around the area where the towbar would slot in.
I didnt get the towbar when I got the car and want to buy one but dont want to waste my money if the socket that the bar plugs into would need replacement anyway.
It would be occasional medium weight use so I'd much prefer a removable than fixed bar.
Does anyone know if LR can test for excessive wear without actually having the removable bar?
Thanks

Has anybody managed to make any sense out of the range of VINs associated with Q393?
I have tried interpreting them using the breakdown of VINs in the Wiki and the bulletin seems to only apply to North American specification vehicles, all V8s and mostly left hand drive.
I rang my local LR dealer and they told me pretty much there and then if I was included in the recall. All they needed from me was the VRN. Mines an 06.Ted
D3 HSE | 19" GG AT3 | Mantec Sump Guard | Front Runner Rack | LR ladder | F+R Light Guards | EGR blanked | Decat | RS500 Intercooler | Tuff Trek TT-H1 awning | T Maxx Split Charge | IID Tool | Prospeed rock & tree sliders | V8 Front brakes
Received my letter this morning, doubt that they'll now cover the costs of increased insurance premiums for the telegraph pole incident when the detachable fell out & trailer trashed said polePaul.
06 Java Black HSE - gone
12 Baltic Blue HSE - gone

There is a big thread on here about this subject, so worth having a search.
I think everyone is included, regardless of whether you purchased your Discovery new or used.Andy
