I have a Challenger Sport 2012 and recently my service engineer examined it at the near and offside rear , where the rear panel corners meet the roof, looking for evidence of hairline fracturing. Unfortunately there was evidence on the offside but the engineer
advised a "repair kit" was available from Swift. He ordered them and we are ready to fit the parts this week. My query is, has anyone else with a 2012 Swift Challenger come across such fault on their caravan. When checking your caravan look really closely
because the fracture is almost like a hair lying on the surface but is a fracture and needs attention.

    Same with my 2014 Compass Omega 482 (Elddis) purchased new in 2015. Put in for it's first service and reported it before the warranty runs out, dealer has now had it for 2 weeks, will be contacting him soon to find out what's going on. You do see a lot reported on forums from caravan owners and also front panels.

    Most manufacturers seem to have had this problem to some extent over the last few years. There are reports of Swift models having cracks and you should be looking to the dealer who sold it to deal with this given it is a known fault.
