Ford and Firestone Tire and Rubber Company is one of unsuccessful crisis management in the organization.
The Ford-Firestone Tire and Rubber Company dispute transpired in August 2000. In response to claims that their 15-inch
Wilderness AT, radial ATX and ATX II tire treads were separating from the tire core—leading to crashes—
Bridgestone/Firestone recalled 6.5 million tires. These tires were mostly used on the Ford Explorer, the world's top
