as usual, I just wanna share something before taking a rest. every
Thursday, I always have to derive an Islamic perspective for every case study
that we want to discuss in class. today.. the case is about Firestone's Recall
In May 2000, the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) contacted Ford and Firestone about the high
incidence of tire
failure on Ford Explorers, Mercury Mountaineers, and Mazda Navajos
fitted with Firestone tires. Ford investigated and found that several models of
15-inch Firestone tires (ATX, ATX II, and Wilderness AT) had very high failure
rates, especially those made at Firestone's Decatur,
Illinois plant. This was one of the leading factors to the closing
of the Decatur plant
