A federal grand jury in Los Angeles is gathering evidence in a criminal investigation of Goodyear recreational vehicle tires, which the government blames for crashes that killed eight people and injured dozens of others.

A federal grand jury in Los Angeles is gathering evidence in a criminal investigation of Goodyear recreational vehicle tires that the government blames for crashes that killed eight people and injured dozens of others.

Documents from Kurtz's lawsuit touched off a 2017 investigation of the tires by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that resulted in a recall last year. The documents also revealed Goodyear knew the G159 RV tire could fail and cause severe crashes, yet it didn't recall them for as many as 20 years.In a statement, Goodyear didn't address the federal investigation, but maintained there's no safety defect with the tires.

The DOT Inspector General says on its website its agents have federal law enforcement authority to conduct criminal investigations, including the ability to make arrests, execute search warrants and carry firearms."Where appropriate, we make referrals for prosecution to the Department of Justice or state and local prosecuting authorities," the office said in a statement.It's not clear exactly what the grand jury is investigating.

Goodyear wouldn't recall the tires even as late as March of last year, despite investigators finding that their failure caused crashes that killed eight people and injured 69 others from 1998 through 2009. NHTSA had threatened a public hearing and court action if the tires weren't recalled. Goodyear then agreed to recall about 173,000 tires.
