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. The affected sizes are LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q.
Yokohama says it believes 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are affected. The company says the tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. According to the announcement, the recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The action covers the two listed light truck sizes.
The company says the tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall. According to Yokohama, reduced adhesion may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss. The company also notes that a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. The notice describes these outcomes as possible consequences of reduced adhesion.
