Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling two sizes of its GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tire line.
The affected sizes are LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q. Yokohama said the tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026. The company believes 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are affected.
According to the notice, the recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations because the tires may have been produced with an improper compound in the sidewall. Reduced adhesion may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss. A loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
The action is limited to the two listed sizes and the stated production period. The notice describes the issue as an improper sidewall compound that may reduce adhesion. Yokohama is directing owners to its customer service team for questions or assistance at 1-800-722-9888 or [email protected]. Recall information is also available through the owners section of Yokohama’s website.
The notice links potential air loss to reduced vehicle control and a higher crash risk. The recall covers 610 tires in the two sizes.
