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 sizes covered are 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 made at Yokohama's Mie Plant in Japan between May 31 and June 6, 2026, according to the company. Yokohama said the action was initiated in accordance with NHTSA regulations. The company describes the count as 610 tires believed to be affected.

The company said the tires may have been manufactured with an improper compound in the sidewall. Reduced adhesion may lead to carcass-ply separation, air leakage or rapid air loss, according to the notice. A loss of inflation pressure can reduce vehicle control and raise the risk of a crash.

The recall is voluntary and centers on a defined production window and two size designations. Yokohama's notice did not state whether it has received reports of tire failures, injuries or crashes involving the affected tires.
