Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the 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 the tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. The production window spans six days. The company believes 610 tires in total are affected.
The recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. According to Yokohama, the tires may have been produced with an improper compound in the sidewall. Reduced adhesion may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss. If inflation pressure is lost, vehicle control can be reduced and the risk of a crash can increase. The notice links the possible sidewall condition to those three outcomes.
The action covers a limited production period and two specific light truck sizes. The affected tires are identified by size and production date. Yokohama is directing customers with questions or requests for assistance to its customer service team at 1-800-722-9888 or [email protected]. The recall notice focuses on the sidewall compound and does not identify any other tire lines as part of the action.
