John,
They are likely not much different than other organizations taking advice from their law team. I believe a large percentage of legal settlements are kept secret.
No one tends to own up to mistakes as much as we would like to see. Hopefully they learn from the price of their mistakes and work to build better products. Seems like it should take more than a tire failure to cause an accident - how many of these likely involved some sort of driver error or other extenuating factor?
I generally pick my tires (and other things) based on my own past performance and reviews of others and not on what the manufacturer is saying good or bad. I always live with the mindset of "let the buyer beware".
