  • Voluntary recall covers two GEOLANDAR M/T G003 sizes manufactured at the Mie Plant in Japan from May 31 to June 6, 2026.
  • Yokohama Tire Corporation is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires in two sizes after possible improper sidewall compounding. The company says reduced adhesion may cause carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss, which can affect vehicle control and increase crash risk.

Yokohama Tire Corporation has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that it is voluntarily recalling 610 GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tires. The recall covers two sizes: LT245/75R16 120/116Q and LT285/70R17 121/118Q. Both sizes are part of the GEOLANDAR M/T G003 light truck tire line.

The affected tires were produced at Yokohama's Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026, the company said. Yokohama said it initiated the recall in accordance with NHTSA regulations.

According to the company, 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. Loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and increase crash risk, Yokohama said.

The notice identifies the affected products by size and production period and states that 610 tires are believed to be in the recall population. It links the potential safety issue to sidewall compound adhesion and lists separation, leakage and rapid pressure loss as possible outcomes. The company notes that reduced inflation pressure can affect vehicle handling and raise the chance of a crash.

Owners can contact Yokohama customer service at 1-800-722-9888 or [email protected] for questions or assistance. The company also directs customers to its owners-circle recall page for more information.
