WASHINGTON (AP) - A research firm that has studied tire failures on Ford Motor Co. sport utility vehicles sued the Transportation Department on Tuesday for access to roadway death and injury data.
Quality Control Systems Corp., of Crownsville, Md., said the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration had wrongfully withheld records on deaths and injuries from tire-related incidents involving Ford Explorer and Mercury Mountaineer SUVs.
The company wants access to Ford's early warning system data, which the government has withheld from the public, to learn more about potential tire-related deaths and injuries.
