Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires. The action covers two sizes in the line: LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q. The total number of tires believed to be affected is 610.
The affected tires were manufactured at Yokohama’s Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. Yokohama initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The company says the tires may have been built with an improper compound in the sidewall.
Potential risk
According to the notice, 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 notice identifies reduced adhesion as the reason for those potential consequences and describes them as possible outcomes of the suspected manufacturing issue.
Recall scope and contact
The recall is limited to the two listed sizes produced during the stated period and to the 610 tires identified in the notification. The notice does not identify other GEOLANDAR M/T G003 sizes or production periods as part of the action.
