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 sizes are LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q. Yokohama says 610 tires are believed to be affected, and that they were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026.
According to Yokohama, the tires may have been built with an improper sidewall compound. The company says reduced adhesion can lead to carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss. It also notes that losing inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase crash risk. Those statements describe potential consequences, not confirmed failures in every recalled tire.
The voluntary action was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. Yokohama's notice identifies the affected line as the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 Light Truck tire and does not describe a remedy or owner-notification schedule.
Owners with questions or in need of assistance can contact Yokohama customer service by calling 1-800-722-9888 or by emailing [email protected]. The company also directs customers to the recalls section of its owner's circle webpage for information about the recall.
The company lists phone and email contacts for recall questions and assistance.
