The 2010 Triumph Thunderbird has 2 recalls, both centered on the same issue: front fender mounting screws that can work loose and rub against the front tire sidewall, causing a blowout and potential loss of control.
When the screws back out far enough, the exposed screw heads press into the tire as the wheel spins, which can cut into the sidewall and cause rapid deflation while riding.
