Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires. The action covers two sizes: LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q.
The tires were manufactured at Yokohama’s Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. Yokohama said it initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The company estimates that 610 tires are affected. The notice lists both sizes and the production window as the scope of the recall.
Sidewall compound issue
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. If inflation pressure is lost, vehicle control can be reduced and the risk of a crash can increase.
A loss of inflation pressure can change how a vehicle responds, which is why the company describes the potential outcome as a crash risk. The notice states the possible consequences of the manufacturing condition but does not describe a specific incident or injury.
Yokohama is directing customers with questions or requests for assistance to its customer service line at 1-800-722-9888, its recall email address at [email protected] or the recalls section of its owners’ circle webpage. Owners are asked to use these channels for questions or assistance.
