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, according to a company notice issued from Santa Ana, California.
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, 2026, and June 6, 2026, and that a total of 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are believed to be affected.
The company said the tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall. Reduced adhesion associated with that condition may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss, Yokohama stated. 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. The notice did not describe the remedy program, a schedule for owner notification or the procedure for returning affected tires.
