Make sure you report this to LR customer care.
I had the same problem and after months of disputing that this was not normal wear and tear and that there is no way this should wear out on a 2004 with 45,000 miles LR eventually refunded me for the full amount for a steering column replacement. I really don't expect the steering wheel to be a consumable part on a $80,000 car.
Recently it also just jammed again, I took it back to LR and they had to unjam and oil the mechanism.
Never a dull day...
