Swift Trekker S~FPV1A, Trekker X~FPV1A and Trekker XL~FPV1A recalled over a brake defect

Brakes

There is a potential issue with a vehicle brake line installation on a MY24/25 Trekker motorhome product. The freshwater tank installation which is designed and installed by Swift as part of the motorhome base vehicle conversion may have been positioned such that the tank comes into contact with the base vehicle's rear brake line when the suspension moves through its full range of travel.  This has the potential to compromise the performance of the braking system.
