I don't think it will just be "one check", looks like over 400 Diesel motorhomes were damaged and lives may have been lost.

Sadly this "Knew of issues for ___ Years" is very common.. Companies seem to feel "If we can keep it quiet" works. the problem is sooner or later people start to compare notes (The internet is real good for that) and the story gets out.

And when that happens a multi-year history of covering up the problem, Quietly paying people off and silencing them.... BACKFIRES big time.

Boards of Directors DESERVE Prison when things like this happen. won't get it but that is what they deserve.

Goodyear Knew Of Dangerous RV Tire Failures For Over 20 Years
G159 275/70R 22.5.
Goodyear’s test found the “G159 was developing temperatures well in excess of 250 degrees when tested” for high-speed use. 75mph.
Court filings suggest the G159's failure rate is anywhere from 10 to 27 times worse than the Firestone tires deemed defective by NHTSA almost 20 years ago.
