The issue is without a recall/advisory consumers won't know that their tires are potentially dangerous. When buying a vehicle (or any item really) the customer should be able to assume that the product isn't dangerously underspeced in some way. If the specs were well communicated to the manufacturers of the RVs (and possibly tire shops) then it's not Goodyear's fault that the tires were put on RVs where they were unfit for the purpose. What is their fault though is that when the problem came to light they moved to protect themselves and prevent the problem from coming to light through the terms of their settlements.
