Swift Group Warranty

All the illustrations and descriptive matter in the handbook are intended to give a general idea of the motorhome. Changing market and supply situations and our policy of continuous product development may prevent us from maintaining the exact specifications detailed in this handbook. We therefore reserve the right to alter specifications as materials and conditions demand.

Dealers are not agents of Swift Group Limited ("Swift") and have absolutely no authority to bind the manufacturer by any express or implied undertaking or representation.

Note: To register your warranty, please use the Connect Direct Registration process, by doing so you are agreeing that you have had the details of the warranty and the annual service arrangements fully explained. This in no way affects your statutory rights under the Consumer Rights Act.

Your panel van conversion motorhome has three warranties:

Base Vehicle Warranty – provided by Fiat

Your vehicle is a panel van conversion motorhome which utilises a Fiat base vehicle. For a panel van conversion motorhome, Swift takes a panel van as supplied by Fiat and fits out the interior of the van for habitation. Fiat provides a manufacturer's warranty for the base vehicle as supplied to Swift by them. For any issues with the base vehicle warranty please contact your local Fiat dealer. This Motorhome Warranty does not cover any parts of your motorhome that are covered by the Fiat manufacturer's warranty. Your base vehicle warranty is subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Fiat handbook supplied with the base vehicle and the vehicle must be serviced in accordance with Fiat requirements.

SuperSure Warranty – provided by Swift

For all parts or fittings of your panel van conversion motorhome other than the Fiat base vehicle, Swift will repair (or at its option, replace) any defective parts or fittings for 3 years from the date of purchase (or hire purchase) subject to conditions, terms and exclusions below.

Panel Van Conversion Body Shell Warranty (“Body Shell Warranty”) – provided by Swift

Swift will repair (or at its option, replace) any defects with the panel van conversion to the body shell for 3 years from the date of purchase (or hire purchase), subject to the conditions, terms and exclusions below.

This Motorhome Warranty does not cover any parts of your motorhome that are covered by the Fiat manufacturer's warranty.

Conditions for the SuperSure and Body Shell Warranties

1. You must ensure that the habitation part of your motorhome has an Annual Service (see clause 2 below) within 90 days before or 60 days after each anniversary of the original date of purchase. In order to preserve your SuperSure and Body Shell Warranties the third Annual Service must, however, be carried out before the expiry of the 36 month period from the original date of purchase. If you have not performed an Annual Service then Swift will not be obliged to perform any work under the applicable warranty . Original VAT invoices must be retained as proof that Annual Service have been carried out.

You will be responsible for any charges made for an Annual Service.

If the Annual Service is performed by an unauthorised repairer or service centre then if the Annual Service has not been performed in accordance with the requirements in this handbook and/or work has been performed on your motorhome that is defective or faulty, then Swift will not be obliged to perform any work under this Warranty (insofar as it relates to defective or faulty work or defective Annual Service).
3. All new motorhomes must be registered with Swift within 6 weeks of purchase as new.
4. The benefit of the SuperSure and Body Shell Warranties may be transferred to a new owner if the motorhome is re-sold, provided that the motorhome has been serviced in accordance with the requirements of this handbook, and details of the change of ownership have been supplied to Swift using the change of ownership form set out in this handbook as soon as reasonably practicable after the change.
