Goodyear, the American tire manufacturer, is facing a massive scandal in Europe that has gone surprisingly unnoticed in Spain, to the point of being hard to believe: until the report you are reading today, nothing had ever been published in Spain about this case. An extensive investigation of Le Monde, a newspaper that has had access to confidential documents from the multinational thanks to an anonymous informant, reveals that for more than a decade, Goodyear has hidden a manufacturing defect in two tire models intended for heavy-duty vehicles that has caused hundreds of fatal accidents in various European countries. The world's third-largest tire manufacturer has maneuvered to prevent it from coming to light.
