GOODYEAR MOTORHOME TIRES MAY CAUSE CRASHES

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says it has received allegations that defective Goodyear motorhome tires caused crashes that killed or injured 95 people during the past two decades. Safety advocates allege Goodyear has tried to keep the problem secret for years by settling cases and asking judges to seal records. Goodyear said it will cooperate with the NHTSA investigation, which covers about 40,000 tires made between 1996 and 2003.
