Yokohama Recalls Commercial Tires Due to Bead and Tread Separation Risk

Yokohama is recalling specific commercial tires where the tread or bead may detach, potentially causing loss of vehicle control.

What this means for you

Illness, injury, or structural failure has been reported. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (tire tread or bead detachment) that explicitly increases the risk of a crash and loss of vehicle control, meeting the criteria for a Severe rating.

The defect is caused by improper manufacturing, which may cause the tire tread or bead to detach. This sudden separation can result in a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
