All Wayne Lifestar recalls (3)

Every NHTSA safety campaign that lists a Wayne Lifestar, most recent first, with the model years each one covers.

  1. Tank assembly (fuel system)

    NHTSA 96V133000 Reported 235 vehicles potentially affected HARSCO CORPORATION

    The fuel tank protection barrier collapsed during impact testing. This does not meet the requirements of FMVSS no. 301, "fuel system integrity."

    Remedy: Owners will be provided with replacement fuel barriers and installation instructions.

    Model years: 1993, 1994, 1995

  2. Frame and members (structure)

    NHTSA 94V150000 Reported 18 vehicles potentially affected WAYNE CORPORATION

    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.

    Remedy: Dealers will install a "p" clamp retaining the air line to the frame.

    Model years: 1994

  3. Exhaust system (engine and engine cooling)

    NHTSA 94V112000 Reported 13 vehicles potentially affected WAYNE WHEELED VEHICLES

    Insufficient torquing of bolts on the clamps used to secure adjoining sections of the exhaust system can cause the sections to separate from the clamps, and can allow exhaust gas to leak under the vehicle.

    Remedy: Dealers will inspect all exhaust system clamps to assure they are properly secured. Until the buses are inspected and repaired, they should only be operated with adequate outside ventilation.

    Model years: 1993
