The defect

The involved vehicles were assembled with bolts of an incorrect size for attachment of the front engine mounts to the engine. The engine mount bolts will loosen and eventually fall off and the engine may come off its front engine mounts. This could result in the fuel line becoming damaged or separated in conditions such as driving over rough roads or in the event of an accident.

The remedy

Upon inspection, dealer will replace mount bolts with bolts of the proper size.
