If it smells and looks fine when you open it I would say go ahead and use it.
I have used my home canned tomato sauce after 2-3 years on the shelf.
Unless you breach the can, there is nothing to spoil the food! Even a single bacterium will spoil it in a week or so. Can looks good, smells good, taste and texture good…mmmm, good!!I have an emergency kit in every car . I keep asking my wife to check hers... which of course she never does. I went in yesterday and finally checked myself... of course the batteries in the flash light are long dead. The butane has leaked out of the disposable lighter and I check the mini can of spam at the bottom of the bag. Best if used before 1/13. Can looks good, so for grins and giggles I poped it open. Looked fine. Smelled fine. Cooked it up with breakfast and it was a-ok. SPAM the wonder food. 9 years past the expiration date and no issues.
A car's trunk can reach 130-172 degrees when parked in sunlight, with an outside temperature range of 80-100.Cans are stored in non temperature controlled warehouses all the time. How is that worse than being in the trunk of a car?

In my humble opinion, that is significantly hotter than a warehouse. Just my initial thought. If you speak from experience I will most certainly accept that, but those temps would scare me.
Just not the ones you think. And there are different dates.There are dates on cans for a reason fellas
