I note that a reply mentions a clip fitted to the bodywork holding the door fully open - what about the window that the door would open against?
Surely a rather large protuding clip, surely not.
We have had the door support clip fitted a while back, so far all seems well. That is on a Bolero FB 2008.....no probs with the window :thumb:
We feel a lot better than the door swinging in the wind:thumb:

We have had the letter as well, but I am worried about the window on ours as well.

The word Swift and Recall don't make sense. My door is every shape under the sun but my dealer has said Swift have gone deaf (surprise).
My friend has just had his third Euromax door fitted and hopes it may last more than 3 months. Swift had to be really threatened to act, some recall.
It will be interesting to see the outcome, but a Motorhome manufacturer caring for customers, that's refreshing. You never know it may rub off to the others, eventually.

I believe you have the newer door which does not have the problem...............I think:thumb:
My Bessacarr goes to the dealer next week to have this done to the door my concern is when opened it will cover part of the window and also the electrical skt will stop the door from going fully back

Hi Bill
The skirt or window is safe as the door does not go back that far, I would show you a picture but van is in storage. Maybe someone is able to post one?
Rich
Jan rang them as we got a letter as well (letter now in bin so do not know what it say's) she was asked if we still had the strut or not. As we have not got the strut anymore then we are ok. Give them a ring as they may need to order something and they will have it ready.
Steve
Thanks for that Rich also what seems to be the problem with this door as i see in other posts that they are getting replaced

The way I see it if you have a Euromax door chances are it will need changing at some point.
Our van is 10 months old and the door needs a hard slam to shut it and is starting to delaminate.
The replacement doors are much better, or so I have been told.
Steve will be able to advise as he has had both?

Hi,
As already said the problem affects the Euramax habitation door on Kon-tiki, E700, Voyager, E600, Bolero & E500 models, only the 2007 and 2008 season vans are affected. ( I note that some other customers have been written too outside of these criteria also which I need to look into and apologise for any confusion).
The issue with the door is something our supplier has been working on for some time. The problem is that on some affected doors the door can twist causing delamination of the door panels. This is caused by the pressure from the gas strut at the top of the door putting the door into twist with normal use.
So far, where a door has delaminated we have been replacing the doors and removing the pressurised gas strut and fitting a door stopper. However, we have now taken the decision with our supplier to proactively modify all affected doors to prevent the doors from failing in the first place and delaminating. We are writing to all affected customers.
I hope this answers some of the concerns, but if anyone has any specific concerns they can contact their dealer or indeed our customer services team for advise or email the Swift technical team direct technicalsupport@swiftleisure.co.uk
Thanks
Andy
If you have to slam the door on a Dec.07 Bessacarr e560 then have rain and draughts coming in because of a gap at the bottom of the door and the locking does not work does this come into DELAMINATED...if so I've got it...but numerous calls to Swift have not rectified it yet...can you clarify this for me Andy....Regards..Dave
