The 1994 Wayne Lifestar has 2 NHTSA recall campaigns affecting an estimated 253 vehicles. Recall repairs are always free at any authorized dealer. Last updated July 5, 2026.
THE FUEL TANK PROTECTION BARRIER COLLAPSED DURING IMPACT TESTING. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY."
IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, THE FUEL TANK CAN RUPTURE, LEAKING FUEL INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE.
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH REPLACEMENT FUEL BARRIERS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
THE STUD WELDS ON THE FRAME CAN FAIL, CAUSING THE "P" CLAMPS HOLDING THE AIR BRAKE SUPPLY LINES TO DISENGAGE FROM THE FRAME. THE AIR BRAKE SUPPLY LINES CAN COME TO REST ON THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, DAMAGING THE LINES RESULTING IN A LEAK TO THE SYSTEM, LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE, AND ENGAGEMENT OF THE SPRING BRAKES.
CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: APPLICATION OF THE SPRING BRAKES WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING CAN RESULT IN LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL AND AN ACCIDENT.
DEALERS WILL INSTALL A "P" CLAMP RETAINING THE AIR LINE TO THE FRAME.
