Non-Approved Towing Equipment

MODEL

New Range Rover

DETAIL

It has come to our notice that a number of after market Non - Approved tow bar kits are now available for New Range Rover.

Land Rover Engineering have examined these kits and have serious concerns over the fitment method, and the way they impart towing loads into the vehicle chassis.

These kits have not been fatigue tested in conjunction with the vehicle chassis, unlike the approved tow bar, and may therefore cause damage to the vehicle. You are therefore advised not be become involved in the supply or fitment of any non-approved after market towing equipment on New Range Rover.

ACTION REQUIRED

Information only: All Land Rover dealers are advised not to become involved in the supply and fitment of any non-approved after market towing equipment on New Range Rover.
