I've been reading for years that the sort of temperatures that can be reached in a car on a warm sunny day are enough that records can warp but I've never experienced that myself. I don't know in what temperature range the plastics used in records actually begin to soften and can deform with any pressure.

It probably isn't the direct sunlight itself probably but the temperature extended over time that would seem to be the culprit here. Temperatures in cars with the windows closed sitting in direct sunlight can reach temperatures that can exceed 160 degrees F if not more in really hot places.

The thing is to not leave records in the car on sunny days if at all possible.
