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 company announced.
The campaign covers two sizes, LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q. Yokohama said the affected tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026, a production window of about one week.
Reason for the recall
According to the company, the tires may have been built with an improper compound in the sidewall. Reduced adhesion from that condition may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss.
Yokohama noted that a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. The recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations.
Owner instructions
Owners of the affected tires with questions or in need of assistance can contact Yokohama customer service through the following channels:
- Calling customer service at 1-800-722-9888;
- Emailing [email protected];
- Visiting the recalls page in the owners' circle section of yokohamatire.com.
In all, 610 tires are believed to be affected, all within the two sizes built at the Mie Plant during that single window. The GEOLANDAR M/T G003 is a light truck tire line, and the campaign applies to two sizes within it.
