The European alert system issued a notice regarding a serious manufacturing defect in Rapido, Dreamer, and Campereve camper vans. The fault involves potential damage to brake lines during the installation of a seatbelt anchor and affects several hundred units produced between May 2018 and July 2022. The manufacturer initiated a recall campaign in December 2022, but some vehicles may still be on the road without inspection.
