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, according to the company.
The tires were manufactured at Yokohama’s Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. Yokohama said 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are believed to be affected by the recall.
The recall covers the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck line, and the two affected size designations include their load and speed ratings. Yokohama said the tires were produced during a defined window at its Mie Plant in Japan, and it estimates that 610 units from that output are affected.
Yokohama initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The company said 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, and a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
The notice frames the issue as a possible manufacturing condition. Owners and dealers seeking information can contact Yokohama customer service at 1-800-722-9888 or [email protected].
