PANEL VAN CONVERSION

MOTORHOME WARRANTY

All the illustrations and descriptive matter in

this 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.

Your panel van conversion motorhome has

three warranties:

Base Vehicle Warranty – provided by

either Fiat or Peugeot

Your vehicle is a panel van conversion

motorhome which utilises either a Fiat or

Peugeot base vehicle. For a panel van

conversion motorhome, Swift takes a panel

van as supplied by either Fiat or Peugeot and

ﬁts out the interior of the van for habitation.

Either Fiat or Peugeot provide 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/

Peugeot dealer. This Motorhome Warranty

does not cover any parts of your motorhome

that are covered by the Fiat or Peugeot

manufacturer's warranty. Your base vehicle

warranty is subject to the terms and conditions

contained in the Fiat or Peugeot handbook

supplied with the base vehicle and the vehicle

must be serviced in accordance with Fiat or

Peugeot requirements.

SuperSure Warranty – provided by Swift

For all parts or ﬁttings of your panel van

conversion motorhome other than the Fiat/

Peugeot base vehicle, Swift will repair (or at is

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 or Peugeot 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.

2. The Annual Service on the body shell and

habitation area must be carried out in

accordance with the requirements in this

handbook. You will be responsible for

any charges made for an Annual Service.

If the Annual Service is performed by an

authorised Swift Group Service Centre

then Swift warrants that the Annual

Service has been performed correctly.

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.

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.

5. If any repairs are identiﬁed as being

necessary to the body shell or habitation

areas during an Annual Service or

otherwise, Swift will only pay for Warranty

work performed by an authorised Swift

Group Service Centre. The motorhome

must be made available to an authorised

Swift Group Service Centre within 6 weeks

of the date the repair need was identiﬁed

for the work to be carried out. The cost
