Now those profits, already under pressure from foreign competition, could be threatened by new concerns about safety. On Aug. 9, the National Highway Traffic & Safety Administration issued its rollover safety test results. While some of Detroit's SUVs scored well, hugely popular models, such as the Ford Explorer and Chevrolet Tahoe, scored near the bottom, each with three-star ratings - out of a possible total of five - and a 28% chance of rolling over in a one-vehicle accident. General Motors Corp. (GM )'s Saturn Vue SUV failed the test, prompting the auto maker to recall 250,000 of them. The Explorer and the Sport Trac have one structural issue that contributed to their poor scores. The track, or width from the front view, is two inches less than that of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer, which earned four stars to the Explorer's three when both have four-wheel drive. A wider track decreases rollover risk. Rollovers typically happen when a vehicle blows a tire, hits a bump, or runs off the road onto uneven ground and one side tips up.
