When I got our car, the towbar wouldn’t lock into place - although the indicator showed green… dangerous!

I took the receiver off the car and found the rust build up on it was preventing the tow hook from properly engaging. Half an hour attacking the rust with a file and then greasing it all up restored correct operation.
