The problem: There is a possibility that a separated motor mount may allow the engine to lift, which may affect the throttle linkage, momentarily increasing throttle, possibly to full throttle.
The risk: Unexpected loss of throttle control may cause loss ofvehicle control and an accident.
The fix: Inspect engine mounts and install restraints which will limit engine lift and eliminate possible secondary effects to the throttle linkage due to engine mount separation.
