My sister in law who is a CC member has a 2012 Swift caravan bought from a large dealership in the south west.  They took the caravan for its service which is a 100 mile round trip and on collecting it on Friday on the way back the fairing/spat fell off
and was demolished by a truck.

Dealer has denied all responsibility. but on doing a check or a bit of research apparently this has happened with other Swift caravans and although I cannot access it, I am told there is a thread running on thsi on the Swift forum.  This also happened to
a friend of ours recently and it was discovered that the plastic clips on his 2010 Swift had become brittle and then broke when a slight bit of pressure was applied to the fairing.

As SIL cannot prove anything, they now have to pay out £130 for a new fairing.  I am not sure if this has happened to any Swift owners on this forum, but if it has, your input would be appreciated.
