Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires in two sizes, the company said.

The action covers the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q sizes within the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 Light Truck tire line. Yokohama said the tires were manufactured at its Mie Plant in Japan between May 31, 2026, and June 6, 2026. The company believes 610 tires are affected. The recall is limited to these two sizes and the stated production window.

According to Yokohama, the recall was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall, the company said. Reduced adhesion may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss. The notice identifies the sidewall compound as the source of the potential adhesion problem.

Yokohama also noted that a loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash. The notice describes these outcomes as potential consequences of the sidewall compound issue, rather than confirmed events. It does not report a specific crash or injury.
