Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling two sizes of the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light-truck tire line.
The recall covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q sizes. 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 in total are affected. According to the notice, the action is limited to those two sizes and that production window.
Yokohama initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The recall is voluntary. 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. Yokohama described those outcomes as possible consequences of the sidewall compound issue.
The company warned that a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. The notice identifies the safety concern and the affected tire population.
Yokohama also directed customers with questions or assistance needs to its customer service line at 1-800-722-9888, its recall email address at [email protected], and the owners-circle section of its website for further recall information.
