Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires in two sizes, according to the company. The action covers a limited number of affected tires from a defined production period.
The recall covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q sizes. Yokohama said the tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. The company believes that 610 tires produced during that period are affected.
Sidewall compound and potential risks
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 can reduce adhesion. Reduced adhesion may cause 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 notice states. It describes those outcomes as potential consequences of the manufacturing issue and does not report a specific incident, injury or crash linked to the affected tires.
For questions or assistance, Yokohama directed customers to its customer service line at 1-800-722-9888, its recall email address at [email protected] and its owner recalls webpage.
