“F-15 was grounded for its wings falling off.”

Three questions:
1) What is the Swedish Safety Speech?
2) What do you mean by “tire roll” here? Are you talking about the car rolling over onto the sidewall under hard cornering or...? I’m confused as I wouldn’t find that acceptable on any car, including an Accord.
