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 recall covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q sizes. Yokohama believes a total of 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are affected.
The company said the affected tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. Yokohama initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The notice identifies the two sizes, the production location and the production window as the scope of the action.
Yokohama said the tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall. The company links the potential safety issue to reduced adhesion 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, according to the company.
