Bulk head gap opened up from wall..2011 Swift Challenger

S

swift mania

Has anyone else experienced the bulkhead separating from the wall by 6 mm. There is no obvious signs internally or externally but the screws securing the bulkhead to the wall have pulled out. Could this be the result of driving over big potholes over a period?
Any suggestion how to remedy other than epoxy resin inserted in to the gap?
Disgruntled Swift owner.

It’s a well known problem and you should contact your dealer or Swift as I think Swift have been rectifying defective vans.

We had that happen with our Lunar Lexon 640 and the only way it could be repaired was to send it back to the factory, but that was many years ago.
I would suggest that you get a dealer to look at it or an AWS technician. Either no charge or a small charge for the inspection, but wil give you a better idea of what you could be facing.. If you stuff the gap with resin, it may still pull apart plus the fact it may affect the resale value.

Many thanks, will follow you advice I have removed some of the access panels trying to source the problems but best to replace them before returning to the dealer.
