Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling two sizes of the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 Light Truck tire line. The recall covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q sizes, which were manufactured at Yokohama's Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. Yokohama believes 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are affected.
The action was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. 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, the recall notice states. A loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.
The notice identifies the affected products by tire line, size, manufacturing plant and production period. It also describes the possible sidewall adhesion problem and the resulting safety risks as the basis for the voluntary recall. The company provides customer service channels for owners and other customers seeking information or assistance.
For questions or assistance, customers can contact Yokohama customer service by calling 1-800-722-9888, by emailing [email protected], or by visiting the recall section of the Yokohama Tire website. The company directs customers to those channels for information about the voluntary recall.
