Nothing on Swift-talk and I would have thought it would get a mention on there if there was any substance to a recall.

There was a check carried out on high-level brake lights of some Sport models but that was all dealt with last year.

Unless its another spurious CC forum recall that seems to get invented every few months...

To all the doubters out there...if you have a free day..any day...take a picnic and park outside the factory near Hull with your notepad. Count how many vans are being brought back in compared to how many are leaving!Not something the manufacturer or even the dealer really want you to know about

We are talking about an announced official recall and not the usual secret individual ones,
Do you camp outside with your tent then?

johnks..no need for my tent..I have a very nice sleeper cab(on my caravan transport truck) and very soon will be buying a shiny new tent with the bonus I am making from the return loads of leaky swifts.I dont think you will hear of an official recall due to the scale of the problem...more likely a quiet retraction of faulty vans via the dealerships! Not kidding!

Ah! I see you have inside information then. I think the problem seems to be those produced in 2011. Something to do with the sealent being altered. There has been a lot of comments on Swifttalk from some very upset owners.

Our 2013 Conqueror doesn't appear to be leaking. If it does then we will be packing in caravanning having traded in a leaking 2012 Bailey!!
There are lots of those going back the factory too!

Only needs Elddis and Coachman to follow suit and we will have a full leaking house!!!!
