Goodyear is "accused of doing silent recalls" rather than announcing across the board replacement campaigns. Here's one: http://articles.latimes.com/2000/nov/07/news/mn-48936 Seems if you yell and scream, they pay you for your troubles, if you sit quietly while they replace your tires, you pay them for the problems they likely had a hand in creating.
Goodyear also has an enormous amount of litigation pending on one line of motorhome tires that were/are considered inferior for motorhome service.
There may not be any "Goodyear Marathon Recalls" since 2000 when you started following ST tires, but I can attest that Goodyear was replacing an enormous number of Marathon ST tires in the 1990's. |
Well by now you must know I did my homework before posting. Here was the results.
