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, the only sizes named in the notice. Yokohama says the tires were produced at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026, and that 610 units from that production window are believed to be affected. The recall covers the two listed sizes and the production period identified by Yokohama.
The recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. According to Yokohama, 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 said.
Yokohama notes that a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase crash risk. The notice identifies the possible sidewall adhesion problem as the reason for the recall. It does not state that a specific crash, injury or claim has been linked to the 610 tires.
