DETROIT (AP) — The U.S. government’s road safety agency says it has received allegations that defective Goodyear motor-home tires caused crashes that killed or injured 95 people during the past two decades.
The allegations were revealed in an information-seeking letter dated Tuesday that was sent to Goodyear by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The agency began investigating whether the company’s G159 tires are unsafe last year after a judge ordered the release of Goodyear data that had been sealed under court orders and settlement agreements.
