Govindjee identifies hot weather as a key factor in tire failures, with design and manufacturing differences among Bridgestone/Firestone plants, notably Decatur Alabama, affecting outcomes. About 6.5 million ATX and Wilderness AT tires were recalled on Aug 9, while advocates urge wider action. Public Citizen’s Joan Claybrook notes complaints spike across Decatur, Wilson NC, and Joliette plants, though only Decatur tires were recalled.
