Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified NHTSA that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires. The recall covers two sizes: LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q. The company says the affected tires were produced at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026.

Yokohama said the recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall, which could reduce adhesion. That condition may lead to carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss, according to the notice. A loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash.

The company believes 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are affected. Owners with questions or in need of assistance can contact Yokohama customer service by calling 1-800-722-9888 or emailing [email protected]. The notice identifies the two light truck tire sizes and the production period covered; it does not state that other GEOLANDAR M/T G003 sizes or production dates are included.
