Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified NHTSA that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires in two sizes, according to the company. The affected tires are the LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q, manufactured at Yokohama’s Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026.

The recall was initiated under NHTSA regulations. Yokohama said the tires may have been built with an improper compound in the sidewall. 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 crash risk.

What owners should know

The recall covers 610 tires believed to be affected. Yokohama is directing owners with questions or seeking assistance to its customer service team by phone at 1-800-722-9888 or by email at [email protected]. The company also points owners to its online recalls page for further information.

The notice describes a voluntary action covering 610 tires believed to be affected. The potential defect is tied to the sidewall compound and possible reduced adhesion, with consequences that include ply separation and air loss. Yokohama’s notice frames the risk in terms of inflation pressure and vehicle control.
