  • UK Recall: Towing ball hitch may detach
    >Electronically deployed tow hitch is automatically deployed by button located ion luggage compartment. the pivot uses a mechanical control link which is electrically adjusted. this is necessary to prevent a loosening or shaking loose of the end stop during driving. due to a software error in the instrument cluster the driver may not in certain cases get prior warning if the adjustment fails. the consequences of this are that the ball hitch can shake loose from the end stop whilst driving. the control link can break due to the imposed load of the trailer and the hitch can pivot downwards causing loosening/detachment of the trailer and adversely affect the vehicle control.

    Corrective Action:
    Recall affected vehicles and reprogramme the control unit/instrument cluster.
