What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

Wayfarer is recalling certain 2017-2021 Wayfarer recreational vehicles. The valve stem extender may rub against the wheel liner, causing damage to the valve stem.

The risk

A damaged valve stem can cause a sudden loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.

The remedy

Owners will be instructed to remove the wheel liners, free of charge. Wayfarer is working to develop a final remedy that allows the liners to be reinstalled. Owner notification letters were mailed on February 16, 2022. Owners may contact Wayfarer customer service at 1-256-356-8661. Wayfarer's number for this recall is WAY-100.

Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
