I'm assuming it's referencing the time Ford deliberate specified lower than recommended tyre pressures for Firestone tires to improve NVH having screwed up the suspension. Resulting in all sorts of problems they tried to blame Firestone for.

This. Unbelievably shitty tactic Ford employed there, went full kike to roll them under the bus with that fiasco.
I remember this shit was in the news for almost a year. Just constant shit-talking from Ford about how murderous Firestone tires were, causing all sorts of rollovers and killing people.
The fucked thing is that they didn't even feel partly responsible (ASSUMING Firestone tires were the problem) for choosing a shit supplier.
But really the tires weren't the problem, it was Ford. Partly why they've subbed out to so many foreign manufacturers for parts now - if shit hits the fan, they always have someone to blame. Even the manual transmissions in the new Mustangs are CHINESE. Fuck.
I don't think Firestone has ever recovered from that shitstorm though. I can't even remember the last time I saw a Firestone tire on a car.
