Mine has now been fixed - was referred to as a new wiring loom for the tow bar system.

I did not get any more detailed explanation other than the wiring loom required replacing. It was however flagged up as a "quarantine" on the LR database (not that anyone bothered contacting me to advise this!) - all I could suggest is raising it with your dealer as they must have access tothe list of quarantine items. Sorry I've no more info.

incorrect wiring of the tow harness was the issue,there is a service action for this fault .
when a vehicle enters a dealer it is a requirement of the dealer to check for any outstanding service actions-and these will automatically be carried out.
it was not a recall -so you would not be contacted
