Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified NHTSA that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires, the company said. The action covers two sizes in the tire line: LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q.
The affected tires were manufactured at Yokohama’s Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026, according to the notice. Yokohama believes 610 tires produced during that period are affected. The recall is limited to those two sizes and that production window.
The recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. Yokohama said 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, according to the notice.
Loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash, the company said. The notice ties those possible outcomes to reduced adhesion in the sidewall area. It describes a sequence in which reduced adhesion in the sidewall may allow separation between carcass plies or air loss.
The notice directs owners with questions to Yokohama customer service. Customers can call 1-800-722-9888 or email [email protected] for assistance. Yokohama’s notice provides those phone and email channels for recall questions.
