Defect
The engine hanger bracket that mounts the engine unit — comprising the engine, transmission, and rear wheel — to the vehicle frame is insufficiently welded. Vibration and impact during driving may cause the weld to detach. As a result, the unit loses lateral support, which may compromise vehicle driving stability.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the affected engine hanger bracket with a conforming part.
