Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is voluntarily recalling two sizes of the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light-truck tire line. The affected sizes are LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q.
The tires were manufactured at Yokohama’s Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026. Yokohama believes 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 tires are affected.
The recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. Yokohama says 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, and a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase crash risk.
The notice focuses on a potential manufacturing nonconformity in the sidewall compound. It identifies the two tire sizes and the production period, and estimates the affected population at 610 units.
