Ssangyong Korando Towbar Shortage

You have not said where you are located but P F Jones appear to have stock.

My Korando is fitted with a Witter towbar, just checked Witter website, they state that both fixed and detachable types are out of stock. I can't find another manufacturer that makes towbars for the latest Korando. Must be very frustrating for you.

I have a Korando on order since early March. It is now taxed but we can’t take delivery until the tow ar is fitted.

As the Caravan needs to go for service this week (20th April) we need to keep the trade in vehicle until the caravan is back in stoarage,

We will probably take delivery of the new car without the tow ar until the tow barons are in stock. The dealer has 13 Korandos awaiting tow bars to be fitted. Seems there is also now an issue with the Misubishi townars as well.

As it is a Ssangyong offer with the caravan club we have to wait for them to fit it.

Have you tried Ssangyong owners club website ?http://www.ssangyongclub.co.uk

They have lots of contacts within the Ssangyong group and may be able to sort you out.

I had an Email from the Club yesterday promoting their 'free towbar' with the Ssangyong. CAMC are obviously blissfully unaware of the situation.

Towcar of the Year?? And you can't get a tow bar? Really?

Sorry, but there are other makes out there (with better reviews) and I would be telling your salesman where to put his Korando. The 'free' offer of something which is non existent, is hardly a selling point, particularly when it's available at other marques.

It's also a great bargaining tool - "Throw in a tow bar and we'll have it"

same here cyberyacht, and I though why advertise the free tow bar when they cannot supply the owners now. typical club approach as run by advertisers not member. membership fees are a pitance compaired with advertising costs.

Likewise.

Seems that the CC are just blissfully unaware of most things. 

I placed an order for a new Korando 5th March and I am still waiting to take delivery. My supplying dealer tells me that there is a shortage of electrics for the Korando towbars which can only be supplied by Ssangyong. Until I had seen these discussions I was doubting whether I was being told the truth. Apparently stock has arrived and I can expect delivery next week.

Does anyone have an update re the towbars,  we expected our Korando to be delivered last week but have been told that because we are in West Wales we have to wait for the Transporter to come this way to have our car (its only in Bristol) Having read this thread I am now wondering if its delayed because of the Towbar.

Wish the dealer would just be honest as we have t trips booked and need to make alternative arrangements if this is the problem.

thanks for any help
