In 2000, various instances were reported in which Ford owners with Firestone tyres were experiencing tyre blowouts ultimately causing around 150 deaths and over 500 serious injuries. Most of the accidents involved Ford Explorers, which had a tendency to flip when their tyres blew out. Not all tyres were defective. Only the 15'' ATX, ATXII, and Wilderness model had proven to be defective. Thus, Firestone suffered significant damage to its brand name as a result of the defects.

Ford claimed that the accidents were caused by the defective tyres while Firestone claimed Ford was at fault for installing the tyres improperly.
