TIRES:VALVE
- 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.
- What it can cause
- A damaged valve stem can cause a sudden loss of tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- 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.
- NHTSA's note
- 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.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,861 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 65% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2017 to 2021, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Wayfarer with NHTSA on July 7, 2021 as campaign 21V514000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
