Government officials and auto industry leaders testified about a recent Firestone tire recall and how it pertained to relevant Ford vehicles. At issue were charges that the auto and tire companies delayed notifying government regulators and consumers about the problem with the tires. Several witnesses blamed one another for the delays and committee members also criticized regulators for not acting more quickly to concerns about tire safety. Lawmakers also called for larger budgets for regulators and proposed federal criminal penalties for such cases in the future. close
