What NHTSA recorded

Due to a deficiency in material strength, the front engine support brackets on the involved vehicles may develop cracks that could lead to bracket failure. This would cause the engine to drop down into the radiator, damaging the shroud, engine fan, and other associated parts. The engine throttle could be pulled into full governed position.

Remedy

The existing support brackets will be replaced with brackets made of ductile iron, at no charge to owner.
