Limited data — recalls on file
NHTSA has just 0 complaints on file for the 1995 Wayne Lifestar — too few to judge reliability from owner reports alone — but one recall campaign applies to this year, so any used example should have its VIN checked for completed recall work.

NCAP overall
1 NHTSA recall campaign on file. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers.
Defect
THE FUEL TANK PROTECTION BARRIER COLLAPSED DURING IMPACT TESTING. THIS DOES NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF FMVSS NO. 301, "FUEL SYSTEM INTEGRITY."
Consequence
IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION, THE FUEL TANK CAN RUPTURE, LEAKING FUEL INCREASING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VEHICLE FIRE.
Remedy
OWNERS WILL BE PROVIDED WITH REPLACEMENT FUEL BARRIERS AND INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS.
The record is thin — 0 NHTSA complaints — so owner-report data can't strongly confirm reliability either way, though 1 recall should be verified as completed.
Yes — NHTSA lists 1 recall campaign affecting the 1995 Wayne Lifestar. Recall repairs are free at franchised dealers; check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm the work was done.
