Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling two sizes of its GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tire line.
The recall covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q sizes. Yokohama says 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are believed to be affected. The tires were manufactured at the company’s Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026. The action is limited to those two sizes and to tires produced during that stated manufacturing window.
According to Yokohama, the recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations because 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. A loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
The notice identifies the affected tire sizes, the production period and the estimated number of tires. It describes the safety concern as a possible sidewall compound issue that may reduce adhesion.
