Triumph is recalling almost two thousand (1,955 in total) 2010 Triumph Thunderbird motorcycles for a thread improper locker and screw on the front fender. Because of the incompatible pieces, the screws might become loose, and work their way out of the threads. Extending out and into the tire, the screws could potentially wear out or puncture the tire causing it to deflate and create an unsafe situation.
Triumph dealers will replace the screws free of charge, though Triumph has not yet released an owner notification schedule on the recall. Concerned owners may contact Triumph Customer Service at 1-678-539-8782, and as always the NHTSA is available at 1-888-327-4236 and safecrar.gov.
