  • Yokohama Tire is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires in two sizes because an improper sidewall compound may lead to carcass-ply separation or air loss. The affected tires were made at the company's Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026.

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

The company initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations. It says 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 Yokohama.

Loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase the risk of a crash, the company states. The recall therefore addresses a potential safety condition tied to the sidewall compound and the tire’s ability to maintain inflation pressure.

Yokohama estimates that 610 tires are believed to be affected. The affected products are part of the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tire line, and the recall is limited to the two specified sizes produced during the stated period.

Owners seeking assistance can contact Yokohama customer service by calling 1-800-722-9888 or by email at [email protected]. The company also directs consumers to its owners’ recall page for questions about the campaign.
