Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is voluntarily recalling two sizes of the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 Light Truck tire line, the company said.
The recall covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q sizes. According to Yokohama, the tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. The company believes that 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are affected.
Yokohama said it initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The company said the tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall. According to the notice, reduced adhesion may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss.
Yokohama warned that a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. The notice frames these outcomes as potential consequences of the sidewall condition and does not state that any such failures have been reported. The company's announcement does not mention injuries or crashes linked to the issue.
The notice does not provide a breakdown of the 610 tires by size or describe a replacement or repair procedure. Owners seeking information can contact Yokohama customer service at 1-800-722-9888 or [email protected]. The company also directs customers to its recalls page for assistance.
