Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires in two sizes.
The recall covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q. Yokohama says the affected tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. The company believes that 610 tires in the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 line are affected.
Sidewall compound issue
Yokohama initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. According to the company, the tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall. Reduced adhesion may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss.
The company says loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase crash risk. The recall notice describes these as potential consequences of the sidewall condition, which may result from reduced adhesion between tire components.
Recall scope and customer contact
The action is limited to the two specified sizes and the production period identified by Yokohama. The GEOLANDAR M/T G003 is a light truck tire line. Yokohama is advising customers with questions or in need of assistance to contact its customer service team.
Customers can call 1-800-722-9888 or email [email protected]. The company also directs owners to its recalls page for information.
