The cause of the tread separation is under investigation by the NHTSA. Separate investigations are also being conducted by Bridgestone/Firestone and Ford Motor Company. Although Bridgestone/Firestone admitted to poor manufacturing practices at its Decatur facility, no definitive cause have been offered by government investigators nor officials from the tiremaker or from Ford.
